Re: [AI] Retrospect and prospect
Hi Thanks for the greetings. Wishing everyone a fulfilling 2020. Well, I would call synthetic vision as a technology enabled vision. It may not be the same as what the eye sees it but in a more functional way. For instance an audio described movie would not be the same as what the eye conveys but in a functional way it to some extent substitutes the visual perception of that movie. Presently computer vision API has lots to offer for us and I look forward for many products to come out using this API compounded with AI and Machine learning. Good progress is being done in object recognition and these can provide in this synthetic vision with reduced latency and with better accuracy.

Would be great if you can expand on synthetic vision. Wishing everyone a very happy, harmonious, healthy and fulfilling new year in advance from New York, USA.

Subject: [AI] Retrospect and prospect All Looking behind at the decade gone by and looking forward towards this new decade, my thoughts linger on a few aspects. I invite you all to crystal gaze on what we can look forward in this decade. We got the new RPD act. Railways have seen noticeable developments in accessibility. Banking has been a mixed bag with more accessible ATMS available to us but accessibility of Banking portals and apps has been inconsistent. Currency notes has taken a nasty beating in accessibility. There are signs that coins may be now accessible. However I feel the role of currency notes and coins will give way to digital transaction in this coming decade. Transportation by and large will become more accessible and friendlier to the disabled. Many more cities will have metros running. We can look forward for Bullet trains and even hyper loop trains. There would be drop in petrol and diesel driven vehicle with electricity driven vehicle taking its place and of course the self-driving cars would be a reality. I anticipate that synthetic vision will to a good measure minimize visual disability. I guess work related travel will be considerably reduced. Working environment will also see changes. I anticipate the working hours could shrink. Some job types could be lost and hopefully newer ones will take its place. Drones will be visiting us bringing all the essentials to us instead of the delivery boys. I see serious concerns on privacy and it will be challenging to have control of our mind. Our mind will be highly influenced by technology and substances That independent thought and opinion will be an highly endangered specie. The state and corporates will have a larger say and influence on us. This would not be desirable at all. I feel even AccessIndia will have little need to be around and I don't think it could sustain over this decade. These are my own thoughts and you are free to differ with all or any of these.
