Understanding the Role of AI in Enhancing Safety and Security

Brief news summary

Many people fear Artificial Intelligence (AI) without realizing they use it daily, such as unlocking their iPhones. At the Modev’s VOICE & AI conference, Lindsey Mastis of 7News interviewed Andrea Huels, Founding Head of Growth and Partnerships at Vody. Huels argued that AI is not something to fear; instead, it can be developed to enhance safety and security. For instance, in retail and restaurant settings, AI can detect unusual activities and alert authorities, like identifying gunshots or organized crime, thus protecting employees and customers. Addressing concerns about AI hallucinations and bias in facial recognition, Huels emphasized the importance of diverse training datasets. AI models should include data from people of various races, nationalities, and those without internet access to ensure accurate and fair AI systems. This diversity is crucial for future AI development to avoid bias and enhance reliability.
