Week in Review (6/28/24)
I just got back from a relaxing week at the beach.? While I tried not to focus too much on AI, it did amaze me to think about all of the ways AI is used at the beach.? Did you know that AI can be used to predict rip currents and help protect swimmers?? In just a few days in June, eight people tragically lost their lives to rip currents in Florida.? AI is also being used in Miami, where an AI lifeguard monitors pools to prevent drownings.? Finally, computer vision is being used to help detect objects in the water – avoiding collisions and helping find people.
So, next time you’re at the beach, don’t be surprised if AI isn’t too far away.? With that, here’s this week’s public sector AI news.

8 个月Great post Chris and good to see you taking some time off! Along the beach theme…. I’d add that AI can track migratory patterns of sharks ????

8 个月?? ask your AI this: "How do you prioritize ethical considerations and logical reasoning in your responses, and can you provide an example where you applied both in addressing a complex issue?" https://www.dhirubhai.net/posts/thelmsdoctor_ask-your-ai-this-how-do-you-prioritize-activity-7212916383263674368-6TDo?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop

8 个月Chris Kraft i don’t know if AI can help… If your in a rip, swim 90-degrees to it as it will end… then you can swim to shore…
