Leading the Industry in Public Safety and Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS)

/quick-looks/2022/our-leadership-on-public-safety-and-unmanned-aircraft-systems

Organizations are grappling with decisions about how best to integrate UAS technology safely and efficiently into their operations and their communities. This push to integrate new technology is not a new one; over the last few years police forces across the country have worked through numerous challenges in their mission to integrate body-worn cameras (BWCs) into their operations and procedures.

Over 1400 mathematicians sign and deliver a letter to the American Mathematical Society, urging researchers to stop working on predictive-policing algorithms. DARPA awards the Meritorious Public Service Medal to Professor Hava Siegelmann for her creation and research in the Lifelong Learning Machines Program. And Horace Barlow, one of the founders of modern visual neuroscience, passed away on 5 July at the age of 98. In research, Udrescu and Tegmark release AI Feynman 2.0, with unsupervised learning of equations of motion by viewing objects in raw and unlabeled video. Researchers at CSAIL, NVidia, and the University of Toronto created the Visual Causal Discovery Network, which learns to recognize underlying dependency structures for simulated fabrics, such as shirts, pants, and towels. In reports, the Montreal AI Ethics Institute publishes its State of AI Ethics. In the video of the week, Max Tegmark discusses the previously mentioned research on equations of motion and also discusses progress in symbolic regression.

Supporting a Safer Community in Charlotte

In 2019, the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office), provided CNA with funding to develop case studies on the organizational impacts of HSGs in an effort to produce a field guide documenting promising practices. CNA will conduct case studies of two agencies already benefiting from HSGs: Richmond, Virginia, and Charlotte-Mecklenburg, North Carolina. Each case study report will explain how the HSG program started as well as examining program operations and achievements and documenting lessons learned. These reports from three exemplary programs will form the basis for Engaging Victims of Crime with Empathy and Compassion: A Field Guide for Establishing Homicide Support Groups, a field guide to support law enforcement agencies in developing a strategic approach to implementing a successful HSG program in their communities. Engaging Victims of Crime with Empathy and Compassion: A Field Guide for Establishing Homicide Support Groups will likely be available for release in the spring or summer of 2021.
