IT consultancy CGI is developing an alternative to the traditional ‘black box’ recorders found in aircraft that will allow teams on the ground to intervene quicker in the event of an emergency onboard.
In a statement, the United Kingdom-based Cranfield University, on Monday, said that their researchers are helping the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) powered program that would monitor the crops used for illicit opium production in Afghanistan. According to the university, their AI would interpret data from satellites to track where the poppy cultivation, used for drug production, takes place.
