China has announced a 6 months-long campaign to clean up applications that violates consumer rights, cybersecurity and disturbing market order. The campaign was launched on Friday by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The order is part of a wider effort to crack down on tech industries and police use of personal information. Authorities have ordered fines and other penalties for some of China’s biggest tech companies. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology identified 22 specific scenarios that required urgent rectification include malicious blocking of website links and…

A team of researchers developed an AI-empowered video surveillance system used to observe and inform social distancing breaches without compromising privacy.They demonstrated it by keeping image processing gated to a local network of cameras, thereby outdoing the necessity to store sensitive data in a central server. They conducted the case study at Gold Coast Airport which, pre-COVID-19 had 6.5 million passengers annually with 17,000 passengers on-site daily. Hundreds of cameras cover 290,000 square meters with hundreds of shops and more than 40 check-in points. Experimenters lightweight and cutting-edge algorithms for…

Visualize a world where you can bring a virtual version of your workplace while you are at a beach…!! That’s how metaverse is expected to begin a revolution. The term “metaverse” was introduced by Neal Stephenson in his 1992 novel “Snow crash”. The metaverse concept again created a buzz recently with some huge investments that have been made by giant companies. Metaverse is the mixture of the physical world with the digital one using augmented reality. Facebook owner Mark Zuckerberg on Monday announced his new team to work for the…

The international team of researchers could speed up the modelling of large geospatial datasets with benchmark accuracy when implemented on a computing system based on highly parallelized graphics processor units. Computers can perform large calculations in a short time. But due to the constraint on the way the digital system stores data, calculation resulting in a longer sequence of digits will be curtailed. Accumulation of precision errors in geospatial datasets can lead to faulty modelling outcomes. The latest development in the field seems to be an elegant solution for this…
