As was mentioned earlier, the UK has been automating it's CCTV cameras. What I was not aware of was just how powerful this new system was. the UK's new CCTV system can do much more than recognize an assault or other crime.

| Government: Emotion-Reading Technology Could Spot Terrorists |
|
One day far in the future, your facial expressions could get you flagged as a terrorism suspect as you stroll past a camera at the airport - or anywhere else.
If so, you could be detained and questioned, thanks to some sophisticated scientific work underway at Concordia University, in a developing science called biometrics.
A computer-imaging system being developed there has been attracting worldwide attention.

the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is conducting research on providing assistance to US Military Air Fields with an AI that will help automate some procedures. The Generalized Integrated Learning Architecture (GILA) is intended to supplement and probably eventually takeover human controls to manage the load of increased air traffic, unmanned vehicles and other airborne weapons.
Currently, air control centers use what is known as Airspace Control Orders, which provide guidance in the use of messages intended to communicate airspace control information among locations. Naturally, commands that are read incorrectly or are that provide unclear instructions can cause a lot of trouble, and possible harm to passengers, pilots and people on the ground.

| Government: iRobot Wins Contract for New Military Comm. Relay Robot |
|
iRobot(makers of the household helpers like roomba) has received an award under the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s (DARPA) LANdroids program to develop a small, mobile communications relay robot that would empower US warfighters with communications.
The multi-year robotics research and development program will allow iRobot to create a portable communications relay robot that is small, inexpensive, intelligent and robust. The new effort takes advantage of the company’s extensive experience in mobile robot design and production. The final robot design must be small enough that a single dismounted warfighter can carry multiple robots and cheap enough to produce that it is disposable if need be. Intelligence requirements include the need to autonomously detect and avoid obstacles while navigating in dense urban environments.

Reading the mind of your enemy may soon become easier. Computers may be able to do so even better than humans, experiments conducted by the Defense Advanced Projects Research Agency (DARPA) by their Real-time Adversarial Intelligence and Decision-making (RAID) program suggest.
RAID is a tool for semi-automated generation of enemy estimates. Its job is to anticipate the upcoming actions of the enemy, and do so not just before, but also during the unfolding battle, in near real-time. In a way, one may say the purpose of RAID is to read the mind of the enemy.

In April, the government of Japan released more than 60 pages of
recommendations to "secure the safe performance of next-generation
robots," which called for a centralized database to log all
robot-inflicted human injuries. That same month, the European Robotics
Research Network (EURON) updated its "Roboethics Roadmap," a document
broadly listing the ethical implications of projected developments like
robotic surgeons, soldiers, and sex workers. And in March, South Korea
provided a sneak peek at its "Robot Ethics Charter" slated for release
later in 2007. The charter envisioned a near future wherein humans may
run the risk of becoming emotionally dependent on or addicted to their
robots.

Bangalore: Living in a State that has a long international border tends to exert an influence on creativity. For three information technology students in Jaipur, it provided the stimulus to try and see how high-tech tools, hardware and software, could be married to create an all-electronic "smart" system to monitor movements across Rajasthan's western border areas.
Abhinav Khandelwal, Abhishek Sharma and Sourabh Nirmal — all students of the Sitapura, Jaipur-based Global Institute of Technology, affiliated to Rajasthan University, have created a scaled-down working model of what they call Artificial Intelligence Military Support (AIMS). It moots a web of lasers to detect intrusion or movement across the border, an artificial intelligence expert system to suggest the appropriate response, including the deployment of weapons, and a "strategy maker" based on human nerve-like neural networks to help make an instantaneous decision on the next course of action.

| Government: Space and Naval Warfare Systems Receives CCAT Award |
|
|
The Center for Commercialization of Advanced Technology (CCAT) in San Diego, California today announced a $50,000 award to the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center San Diego (SSC San Diego) Technology Transfer Program. The money will be used for a number of improvements to SSC San Diego's extensive line of robotic systems, yielding more intelligent robots that can function without need for a joystick or other hands-on human intervention. The improved systems could be used to better detect and help neutralize improvised explosive devices (IEDs), provide real-time visual and recorded surveillance, create maps of areas that are hazardous or inaccessible to humans (such as caves or bunkers), and sense human presence.

The fast-attack submarine USS Scranton (SSN 756) successfully demonstrated homing and docking of an Unmanned Undersea Vehicle (UUV) system during at-sea testing in January 2006.
The two UUVs used in the testing are a part of the AN/BLQ-11 Long Term Mine Reconnaissance System (LMRS), which was designed to enable submarines to conduct clandestine undersea surveys to locate mines.
“Improvements in autonomy -- the artificial intelligence that enables UUVs to function beneath the water for long periods of time without communication with human operators -- will enable UUVs to accomplish very sophisticated missions with complex payloads,” Ims added.

Intelligence officers who eavesdropped on thousands of Americans in overseas calls under authority from President Bush have dismissed nearly all of them as potential suspects after hearing nothing pertinent to a terrorist threat, according to accounts from current and former government officials and private-sector sources with knowledge of the technologies in use.
The Bush administration refuses to say -- in public or in closed session of Congress -- how many Americans in the past four years have had their conversations recorded or their e-mails read by intelligence analysts without court authority. Two knowledgeable sources placed that number in the thousands; one of them, more specific, said about 5,000.
Successive stages of filtering grow more intrusive as artificial intelligence systems rank voice and data traffic in order of likeliest interest to human analysts. But intelligence officers, who test the computer judgments by listening initially to brief fragments of conversation, "wash out" most of the leads within days or weeks.

This website was created in memory of the ChatbotFriends website which inspired me to delve deeper into the topic of Chatbots (Chatterbots). I originally started it as a replacement when that site went down, but we have since branched out a lot. We were originally the Chatbot Hub and focused mainly on chatbots but, with the growth of the site, we decided to expand out to other similar aspects of AI and rename ourselves "AI Hub". I hope that all of the visitors can be inspired by what Artificial Intelligence can accomplish.
