Which Animal Viruses Could Infect People? Computers Are Racing to Find Out.
Colin Carlson, a biologist at Georgetown University, has started to worry about mousepox. The virus, discovered in 1930, spreads among mice, killing them with ruthless efficiency. But scientists have never considered it a potential threat to humans. Now Dr. Carlson, his colleagues and their computers aren’t so sure. Using a […]
Smart Cities World – Micromobility
Micromobility operator Voi is working with Drover AI to deploy computer vision technology on its e-scooters in Oslo. Drover AI’s technology uses machine learning and computer vision to identify whether the e-scooter is on the pavement, road or cycle lane, to help prevent pavement riding. Computer vision trial […]
