Police officers will be able to use AI and new mixed-reality technology to test and develop ways to improve situational awareness in critical situations such as gang violence and shootings. "Our responsible AI research will be directly useful for police officers in the field," says Juan Carlos Nieves Sanchez, Associate Professor and Research Leader in Computing Science at Umeå University.
Virginia Dignum, Professor at the Department of Computing Science, Umeå University, has, as the only Swedish representative, been appointed as a member of the United Nation’s High-Level Advisory Body on Artificial Intelligence, AI. The tasks of the body are to provide advice and propose solutions for the governance and management of AI at the global international level.
A new research study from Umeå University in Sweden shows that incidents with fatal police violence in the US are 66% more likely to occur in formerly “redlined” areas.
This week 31 leading representatives for ten different countries will meet at Umeå University in Sweden. During three days these leaders will discuss how to optimize the conditions for research and education to benefit the northern and arctic regions.
