Nvidia, the well-known graphics conglomerate is stepping into governance. The company is aiming to aid the government through Artificial Intelligence by parsing the video graphics of the day to day in mega cities.
Video surveillance cameras can capture endless droves of data. Up until recently, humans sifted through the files looking for suspicious activity, however, as of late companies like Nvidia are planning on injecting their products into the mix.
Artificial Intelligence is breaching or preparing to invade every aspect of our lives and bodies. In addition, conglomerate corporations are pushing the population into megacities, and out of the suburbs, the combination creates an inevitable outcome, the overpopulated mega city. But, there is a problem, the more people, the more data there is to dig through. NVIDIA plans to solve that problem by providing Deep Learning AI to assist in the process.
The technology company created a new video analytics platform just for you and me, dubbed Metropolis; this platform will use learning AI to analyze the massive amount of data from surveillance video for “public safety, traffic management, and resource optimization.”
In plain English, that eye in the sky just got creepier and way more robotic. Currently, there are hundreds of millions of surveillance cameras, but they are disconnected from each other.
In other words, one shops video surveillance cameras doesn’t feed into the cities cameras, but with NVIDIA’s system, they could. On a larger scale, if NVIDIA received a contract from the federal government for video analytics, all the data produced by each individual city could essentially be ‘monitored’ by a single company. See a problem?
