Artificial intelligence receives tons of the press – and for that, good reasons. But the rapidly growing examination of AI lies not only in the matrix of his own elegant algorithms, but also in wider compounds.
We are talking about “intellectual connection”, which relies on unprocessed data – a lot of them – and on the communication network that carry them.
This mixture of technology can be around you in a large store, like Walmart. Retailers are fighting for their target audience, using the sensors in abundance located in their aisles and the cash register lines. When AI sees templates in customer interactions and inventory stream, the result may be a successful sales offer.
Why did we write this
Artificial intelligence often works together with 5G wireless networks and devices related to the Internet. As the influence of this technological trio grows, the challenges grow for a better public awareness of its influence on everyday life and global dynamics.
AI is also located on real battlefields. This can increase the situational awareness of the soldier, simplify communication and improve decision -making.
Many cybersecurity analysts say that the technology appears – maybe too fast. They warn that the public needs to know much more about how these systems work and how their personal data is used.
“There are many advantages of these technologies, but, unfortunately, everything always goes with their own side effects,” says Abdul Yarali, professor of cybersecurity and network management at the University of Murray in Kentucky.
What is an “intellectual connection”?
Intellectual communication is the term for artificial intelligence, 5G networks and devices connected to the Internet (“Internet of Ships” or IoT) work together. Each of them is an integral part of this technological system. The promises of what this transforming technology can give is a legion: from cars without a driver to hyperfunctional smart cities. Fears about the confidentiality, security and justice, implied by this league, are also numerous.
- IOT refers to sensors in devices connected to websites, today, from heaters to air purifiers to lights. All of them “feel” what is happening, for example, a temperature changing or people moving along the passage of a store.
- 5G is the fifth generation of wireless technologies. This is a very fast mobile transmission network that vacuums IoT data and sends them for use.
- Computers controlled by AI can more often accept these data and “decide” what to do with it. AI is based on algorithms that detect patterns and imitate human training.
Since AI needs data before he can decide, the more data he can get, and the faster he gets it, the smarter he can be. And 5G can transmit data for the supply of obscene appetite with a minimum delay.
5G is located in the vicinity on the electromagnetic spectrum, which was first used in a commercial sense in 2019. It is at a higher frequency than, but not far from the place of radar in the spectrum, and it can satisfy more requirements for the passage strip than when it could.
If 4G looks like a small room with a growing crowd at a party and a lonely DJ, 5G is a large place with a stage, A-List group and a lot of space on the dance floor. The capacity of 5G was developed to make room for a party.
The company now depends on “Connection – anywhere, at any time,” says Alexander Wiglinski, director of a wireless innovation laboratory at the Woster Polytechnic Institute. But as a result of this requirement, a lack of throughput is problematic, he says. Hence the need for 5G and ultimately 6G, which is in development.
Who uses this technology and how often?
On the battlefield, these sensors already give a soldier situational awareness and strategic advantage to help them win.
In retail trade, these same sensors provide corporate leaders with the opportunity to increase their profits. For example, sensors connected to the Internet collect data on customers, including how they make purchases, what they like and where they go first in the store. These data can be used to replenish the inventory reserves more strategically or for marketing for customers.
Most large retail sellers, such as Walmart, have a regiment of sensors who are ready to welcome customers starting from the front door. In some of their places, Whole Foods Amazon introduced “Dash Carts”, which use sensors to scan objects. This allows customers to skip the traditional stake.
Walmart is a good example of an intellectual connection to work, says Bruce Schneier, teacher of Harvard University and author Data and Goliath: hidden battles to collect your data and control your world.
“There are sensors in the store – 5G moves this data; AI interprets this data. ” Says Mr. Schneer. Walmart “will take this data; They will go to the data broker and say: “Hey, I got this data. Tell us more about this person. ”
And then he adds by Mr. Schneier, buyers will turn on, say, in a jewelry store based on data collected about them.
Walmart says that he uses his sensors to manage inventory decisions. A request for a comment remained unanswered.
What are the confidentiality and ethical considerations?
Analysts note several problems with intellectual communications.
Firstly, the sensors collect information in the aggregate about customers, but they can also identify the names of individuals and the history of purchases, says Zygmunt Haas, a scientist at the University of Texas in Dallas, which explores sensory networks.
He says that the sensors transmit their information about customers to the 5G network, which then transmits it to the AI process. And here, in the field of decision -making AI, where many experts focus their problems.
People can afford to buy what they did not necessarily plan, based on the proposals of AI, says Dr. Yarali, author of Intellectual Communication: AI, IOT and 5G. He compares this with the restaurant server, which can recommend soup on a rainy day. The sentence sounds logical, and the client takes it. When AI multiplies similar referrals, is it useful or manipulative?
Another problem about the recommendations of artificial intelligence-when “forecasts become self-filled prophecies,” says Mark Kokelberg, professor of media technologies at the University of Vienna, who studies the ethics of AI. “People begin to feel unsafe … when it is predicted that there is a problem.”
And then, of course, sometimes AI “hallucinators” or does something. “We cannot rely 100% on AI,” says Dr. Haas.
And, according to the recent report by Nieman Lab, “search engines of artificial intelligence do not pass[ed] Produce accurate quotes in more than 60% of tests. ”
Ethical problems become more and more numerous and urgent in military use, in which human lives and the future of nations can be put on a map.
What actions can consumers take?
Many intellectual experts support technological achievements, and also emphasize the need for consumer awareness. Some would like to see a more public protest, when necessary, about excessive data collection.
“You must do something as a voter,” says Mr. Schneier, “problems in politics: problems – lobbyists.”
According to Dr. Cokelberg, the public can change its own attitude to technologies and pressure policy for greater control. People “control the place where we give technology in our life,” he says, and, for example, can use phones less intensively.
According to him, to ask wider questions about what is a happy life and true sense of community is a step that encourages the use of such moderation.
“In the era of technology, we must again ask these questions and see what we can use from our traditions, both secular and religious, to cope with what is happening, and also find some leadership,” he says. “We can help each other.”
