Development and adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in Africa has occurred slowly relative to developed countries. A vibrant AI ecosystem is growing on the continent. Due unique geographical, cultural political nature continent, 4th industrial revolution continent evolving differently from its global counterparts. The motivations for development systems, parties involved, impact are theref...

This dialogue is from an early scene in the 2014 film Ex Machina, which Nathan has invited Caleb to determine whether succeeded creating artificial intelligence.1 The achievement of powerful general intelligence long held a grip on our imagination not only for its exciting as well worrisome possibilities, but also suggestion new, uncharted era humanity. In opening his 2021 BBC Reith Lectures, t...

Strategies and means for selecting implementing digital technologies that realize firms’ goals in transformation have been extensively investigated. The recent surge artificial intelligence (AI) has amplified the need such investigation, as they are being increasingly used diverse organizational practices, creating not only new opportunities but also challenges managers of processes. In this ar...

background and objectives: making a reliable prediction of drought index status for the future is one of the major elements in a successful water resources management particularly under climate change processes, including increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration, temperature and fluctuations in rainfall. the present study aims at assessing drought trend under changing climate condit...

The field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has produced a rich set of technical practices and interpretive conventions for building machines whose behavior can be narrated as intelligent activity. Artists have begun to incorporate AI practices into cultural production, that is, into the production of artifacts and experiences that function as art within the cultural field. In this paper I descri...

In recent years AI research has had an increasing role in models and algorithms for security problems. Game theoretic models of security, and Stackelberg security games in particular, have received special attention, in part because these models and associated tools have seen actual deployment in homeland security and sustainability applications. Stackelberg security games have two prototypical...

artificial insemination (ai) is an important technique for breeding that has been extensively used in dairy farming worldwide. however, it has not been fully adopted in iran's dairy farms, especially in ardabil province. the main objective of this research was to study factors affecting adoption of ai in dairy farms of ardabil province. in order to predict the adoption of ai, technology ad...

RÉSUMÉ. Dans cet article, une nouvelle approche relative à l’indexation de la bande sonore de documents audiovisuels est proposée, son but est de détecter les composantes parole et musique. Trois nouveaux paramètres sont extraits : la modulation de l’entropie, la durée des segments (issue d’une segmentation automatique) et le nombre de ces segments par seconde. Les informations issues de ces tr...

Résumé. Dans cet article, nous proposons une nouvelle approche de pondérations des variables durant un processus d’apprentissage non supervisé. Cette méthode se base sur l’algorithme « batch » des cartes auto-organisatrices. L’estimation des coefficients de pondération se fait en parallèle avec la classification automatique. Ces pondérations sont locales et associées à chaque référent de la car...
