'Businesses aren't advertising their use of ai'

摘要

'The RTI lab is a collaboration between the police, TNO and the HSD (Hague Security Delta, ed). We support security organisations when updating real-time intelligence, and experiment with new methods and techniques, including AI. We always take account of different perspectives: what does AI mean to people or processes, what are the technical issues, and which legal and ethical questions arise? The police always want to use the latest technology, so we experiment to learn more about the next step. Take imaging, for example. The Netherlands is full of security cameras. Can you use AI to detect deviant patterns in all the image material they provide? There's another new technique that could be used in the control room. When every second counts, you need to quickly understand what's going on. But what if someone is speaking a different language? Could a computer interpret the situation swiftly through its ability to learn from previous calls and understand many different languages? There are numerous examples of how AI can assist us, mainly because it can base itself on enormous data sets. But AI is also a challenge, particularly for the police. Take algorithms that can calculate the risk of a criminal career. How can you make a system like this competent and transparent, without bias (prejudices, ed.)? How can you expose the reasoning of a system and prove that it isn't biased? It's for challenges like this that we need institutions like TU Delft.
