AI in 007 Avatar: Honeycomb AI app to help prevent crimes in Britain
The Community News/London
Amid debate over pros and cons of Artificial Intelligence, Honeycomb, an AI app of London-based Trilateral Research firm, will soon don the 007 Avatar to prevent crimes.
Scheduled to be launched later in April 2023, Honeycomb ‘is designed to help in better understanding and respond to complex societal issues such as human trafficking’.
“The AI application built on a suite of Natural Language Processing (NPL) tools, will help organisations make more informed decisions quickly.
The NPL tools are used to extract, communicate, and expedite the analysis of crime case content, such as text, databases, documentation and case notes.
They help in highlighting patterns, trends, key themes and topics of interest, and fast tracks findings back to analysts and intelligence officers for validation.
This helps human users enhance their professional judgement to review cases quickly and implement safeguarding interventions,” UK government said in a statement.
Trilateral’s app is developed through funding by DASA’s Open Call and Security Rapid Impact to make use of AI in solving or taking timely action in societal crimes.
Honeycomb is designed in collaboration with subject matter experts of human trafficking and criminology to ensure the NPL technology produces valid results.
Honeycomb will help in better extracting and explaining existing info available in databases to help cops curb child abuse, organised crime and human trafficking.
In fact, Trilateral is carrying out a trial with UK Police force in making better use of crimes data and implement safety measures well in advance.
Dr Hayley Watson, Trilateral’s Sociotech Innovation director, said, “DASA provided us the space and time to innovate and co-design with defence users. This enabled our development of sociotechnical methods for building ethical AI to combat complex societal problems.
The opportunities for defence and security end users are huge, working together, we can offer the capability to harness explainable AI to combat complex societal problems from national security to crisis and conflict stabilisation efforts.
We look forward to continuing to work with those keen to leverage innovation to enhance their operations and ultimately, help save lives.”
