SenseTime, a Hong Kong-based AI company, gave a keynote titled “AI for a better tomorrow” at this year’s World AI Cannes Festival(WAICF).
The keynote was given by George Huang, President of SenseTime’s International Business Group, who demonstrated how the company is using AI technology in fields such as mixed reality, mobility, city management, and healthcare.
“There has been massive market demand for AI computing services, as the digitalisation of cities and enterprises expand, along with the accelerated development of the metaverse and autonomous driving,” said Huang.
“We are committed to developing AI technology that advances economies, society, and humanity to address global challenges.”
SenseTime is the world’s most funded AI company, and its facial recognition system is used in China’s vast surveillance system.
The company’s Viper technology seeks to automatically tag and follow persons by processing and analysing over 100,000 simultaneous real-time streams from traffic cameras, ATMs, and other sources. Naturally, ethical concerns have been raised regarding such technology, and SenseTime is working hard to alleviate such worries.
For a “healthier” market, SenseTime recommended for the adoption of facial recognition standards in 2018. According to the corporation, “trust levels” should be developed so that only highly accurate solutions are utilised for critical applications such as finance and law enforcement, while lower-trust alternatives can be used for things like entertainment.
During his keynote speech, Huang stressed SenseTime’s three core ethical principles of “sustainability, human-centric, and controllable technology”. The firm calls on institutions, enterprises and individuals to respect and recognise the balance between innovation and ethics.
“Empowered by our universal AI infrastructure SenseCore, SenseTime has cemented a leading position in four major segments, namely Smart Business, Smart City, Smart Life and Smart Auto, integrating strong computing power and leading algorithm capabilities in a sustainable and responsible way,” said Huang.
SenseTime demonstrated various solutions at the event including:
• SeaWorld experience – Visitors could enjoy an immersive and interactive experience that showcases the power of combining AI and mixed reality. The experience was powered by SenseMARS, a metaverse platform.
• SenseAuto – An intelligent automotive platform that introduces full-suite applications in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), smart cabin, vehicle-to-road connect, L4-level autonomous driving, and Robobus, with the intention of minimising driver errors and reducing road hazards.
