hardware related applications. This is a really cool category and I feel like a lot of people don't think about it as much like how much opportunity there is. They're always thinking more just on the software side. But AI is very much able to interact with the physical world. For this type of application, the workflow usually has an emphasis of things being real time and looping. The general workflow is that you collect some type of real-time data usually from some type of physical device like a sensor, a camera, a wearable. The AI would process and analyze that information to detect things like patterns or anomalies or different insights. It will decide if something stands out from that continuous stream of information like trigger an alert or change something. And finally, it would summarize and then report whatever it is that it did. An example of an AI app in this category would be a traffic incident detector. You will have cameras and road sensors feeding in information, continuous information to your AI. The AI would be analyzing that real-time information. And if it detects something like, oh, like there is a stalled vehicle where like a car crash, it would make a decision. Oh, like is this car crash really bad? Is it actually congesting things? And if it does decide that it's a problem, it would then take action. Like it would probably report an alert to an operator and then maybe do things like adjust the traffic lights to try to like mitigate the situation. and then it would finally summarize it saying, "Oh, there's an accident that occurred on like road 7 and then give that to somebody. " Speaking of things related to traffic, you can also make a traffic flow predictor. So, it's able to take historical and live data and be able to forecast different congestions and reroute drivers. Illegal parking detections like having cameras that's able to spark cars that are parked incorrectly and then I guess like be able to find them directly or alert them. crowd management sensors that are detecting the flow of pedestrian traffic and be able to flag different bottlenecks and then like maybe send people who would go, you know, those people who kind of like wave their sticks to redirect people, like get those people to go if there's a lot of congestion. air/noise pollution apps for cities, being able to use sensors and AI to detect where the hot spots are, predict spikes are going to be there, and be able to help like urban planners or like developers figure out where certain buildings should be built and how to like plan the city better. For more general security and camera related apps, you can build something like an object/person recognition application. So, your AI is able to identify packages, pets, vehicles, or known people and be able to flag that. AI privacy filters like it's able to blur out certain things that you don't want to be seen. Sometimes maybe you want to upload a video of something but there's like you know identifying information like people's faces or like license plates and things like that. So you can automatically blur that out. Anomaly detection and camera feeds. The anomaly would be different depending on the different types of scenario but you can get the AI to be able to detect what you consider to be an anomaly in a lot of different types of feeds and CCTV cameras and send it to the popo. There's a lot of applications related to smart home devices, too. Like energy anomaly detection. Maybe you can have smart plugs that's able to, you know, look at your fridge and be like, "Oh, there's a 15% more power usage next month. " And then, I don't know, like miticate that in some fashion. Appliances that would know when it should start itself. Voice activated appliances. Appliances that are able to detect when it should be started and stopped. — Hello, robot. — Yes, I'm here. — Turn on the light. — Okay. a smart fridge inventory that can remind you to buy things or just directly order itself when you know inventory is low on milk. An AI that's able to detect when something is about to fail or some sort of sensor has failed. Like if you have a glucose monitor, if something is going wrong with it, it's able to send an alert. Speaking about wearables and healthcare related things, you can have a wearables aggregator application that's able to take all your different types of wearables like your Aurora link, your Whoop, your Apple Health, whatever. Integrate all of them together and give you insights about your daily activity, how to improve your life. For example, you should stop eating things late at night because it increases your stress response and then you don't sleep very well. A sleep and diet app that's able to figure out what is the right plan for you based upon your current lifestyle. smart accessibility devices like AI enabled hearing aids that's able to increase or decrease certain sounds and filter it so you can hear better. — These systems are a great benefit to the heart of hearing and rapidly increasing around the world. Assisted listening benefits a large and ever growing section of society. Hearing impairment affects one in seven of us, a number that is increasing the population ages. — Smart glasses that has cameras and can like tell you certain things. Kane sensors so you're able to have information about your surroundings. apps that are integrated into your car, being able to tell you when it is that you should get things checked up in a much more direct fashion, not like just an ominous blinking on your car close fleet monitoring like device vehicles or drones. Being able to monitor their different patterns and
