In Silicon Valley, tech companies are already harnessing the power of AI. Now the city of San Jose wants to do the same.
"It's a competition. Let them demonstrate what they can do," says Khaled Tawfik, the Chief Information Officer for the City of San Jose.What they want AI to do, is to identify small problems, before they become big ones. They're looking at everything from potholes and graffiti, to homeless encampments.Blue Dome Technologies is one of five companies participating in the pilot program. They showed us their technology at work.
Here's graffiti, here's not graffiti," says Kenneth Salsman, Ash Sensor's Chief Technology officer.The city of San Jose has just one car outfitted with cameras, and it's only done three test runs so far. But homeless advocates have concerns, that this high-tech solution won't solve a very human problem."The public's saying, 'Oh it's another tool, but a tool for what?' You've got to get unhoused people into housing. That's the solution.
