A Southern California beach town will soon deploy an AI system to detect bike lane violations, while an ALS-stricken musician is using AI to perform again, highlighting the diverse applications of artificial intelligence. Santa Monica will begin using Hayden AI's scanning technology in April, according to Ars Technica, while a musician named Patrick Darling, who lost his ability to sing due to ALS, is now able to perform with his bandmates again thanks to AI.
Santa Monica's parking enforcement vehicles will be equipped with the AI system, expanding upon similar cameras already used on city buses, Ars Technica reported. The goal is to reduce illegal parking and improve safety for cyclists, according to Charley Territo, chief growth officer at Hayden AI. The system will be implemented in seven parking enforcement cars.
Meanwhile, in the realm of music, Patrick Darling, diagnosed with ALS at 29, is using AI to overcome the loss of his singing voice, MIT Technology Review reported. His recent performance marked his first time on stage with his bandmates in over two years. The technology allows him to share his music with audiences once more.
In other AI-related news, one reporter went on a series of speed dates with AI companions at a pop-up dating café, according to The Verge. The experience offered a glimpse into the potential future of human-AI interaction.
The applications of AI extend beyond these examples. A visual introduction to probability and statistics is available through "Seeing Theory," a resource on Hacker News. Additionally, the use of technology in heists is often misrepresented, with real-world crimes rarely involving high-tech gadgets, according to MIT Technology Review.
