Established in 2021, the center uses artificial intelligence (AI) for comprehensive emergency response, monitoring 900 CCTV cameras across 17 of Seoul’s 21 pedestrian-accessible Han River bridges. Beyond suicide prevention, its most frequent task, the center also handles criminal tracking, traffic accidents and drug enforcement.
…
Much of that credit goes to AI, which triggers an alarm if an object identified as a person remains for more than 300 seconds in a bridge’s “loitering zones,” sections where people are able to stand for extended periods.
Good day.
I’d like to preface that I’m replying in good faith.
I can to a degree, agree that the summarized wall of text that I provided, wasn’t the best and could have falsehoods in it. However, being that I am not writing a thesis on the matter, applied vetting to sources, figured that anyone who reads this on this forum would apply at least a grain of salt to it, and that I wanted to help shed light on the good/better things that are going on… I figured it would be alright to post.
As for the the use of AI to summarize… (checks notes) … over 11,000 to ~13,000 words (with notes and references,) down to ~1,700 words, I’d say it’s helped us. And yes, these LLM’s can be wrong, partially correct and even some cases, hallucinate. And that’s why you shouldn’t take all that I posted above as pure fact. But don’t we live in a messy world? Haven’t we as humans learned to pick out the lies, falsehoods, half-truths, and apply salt to statements and claims when we see it appropriate? It’s not an excellent tool for all things. But it sure would beat me in summarizing it for everyone. Openly, my ADHD would have had me considering to give up a lot sooner if I had to do the summarizing myself. And furthering the openness, I considered a few times to not even work on replying with my findings.
So were the ‘tokens’ used a genuine waste? I would disagree. Do AI server farms cost a lot to operate and use an enormous amount of resources? Absolutely! https://www.technologyreview.com/2025/05/20/1116327/ai-energy-usage-climate-footprint-big-tech/ But as for my take on the use of conventional AI, this is one of the main reasons I was looking forward to the early advancements. (Like mentioned above, ADHD makes it harder to sit through a wall of text to read. Even if it’s a subject or topic I’m really into.) And I was also looking forward to these advancements and positive changes. https://lemmy.world/post/46231655?scrollToComments=true
