\n“Overseas workers are helping to build the artificial intelligence behind Flock, a US startup that uses real-time footage to monitor neighborhoods. Flock\u2019s cameras take constant video of residential streets, and machine-learning algorithms analyze the images to spot crime as it happens\u2014or even before. But before the AI can do this, it must be trained.”<\/p>\n
Have you ever dreamed of Snoopy-Doo, the dog from your favorite childhood classic, suddenly morphed into an AI-powered 21st-century insomniac with an ever-watchful eye for neighborhood dynamics? Okay, maybe not. But wouldn’t it be quite something? Picture it, a dog camera secretly tucked amidst your perfectly pruned roses. A scene right out of a sci-fi thriller, with Uncle Sam going digital. Well, guess what, our homegrown startup Flock is bringing this feature right to the Uncle Sam\u2019s backyard.<\/p>\n
In a plot twist sure to win over the most die-hard fans of Sherlock Holmes, Flock has outsourced the brain-work to \u2013 wait for it- gig workers based overseas. What a plot turn! Who would have thought? It’s ingenious, absolutely mind-boggling. This David of a startup takes on Goliaths of crime, but with a dash of international talent, a perfectly logical choice in today’s global gig economy.<\/p>\n
So, here’s how the riddle of the century was solved. Flock\u2019s cameras, a marvel of modern technology, record a never-ending reality TV show of everyday American streets. Binge on the mundanity of parked cars, kids playing, and the neighbor’s cat performing its one-cat circus act. But it\u2019s more than just entertainment, it\u2019s the centerpiece of an AI-powered stage set to identify St. Nick(s in action). But, get this; before the AI earns its detective\u2019s badge, it’s enrolled in a \u201cbasic training\u201d of sorts, led by the aforementioned overseas gig workers.<\/p>\n
And you thought it’s the machine doing all the work. Well, turns out even the machines need a little human touch, overseas human touch for that matter. Every day, these international gig workers fuel the cerebra behind the silicon facade, training the digital eye to distinguish between a cheeky fox and a prowling stranger. <\/p>\n
So, remember, the next time you stroll down the \u201ccomputer-perfect\u201d streets of suburbia, feel free to give a friendly wave to the ever-watchful AI eyes. Who knows? It might just return a digital nod before carrying on with its never-ending task of spooking the neighborhood foxes, all while keeping a hawk-eye on any rogue Sam.
