AI to monitor Ukrainian fields

A new AI-powered platform will control Ukrainian fields. Earth Observing System (EOS) will present a set of tools aimed for agricultural companies. The service will collect and systematize data about fields on 24/7 basis via satellites.

The program will accumulate information about seedlings, maturity, weather conditions, and anticipated dangers. The EOS’s platform allows farmers to optimize expenses as well as effectively plan new crops setting and harvesting. The platform is currently being developed.

The EU creates an AI code of ethics

The European Commission has come up with a preliminary list of requirements to AI safe application across the EU. The AI guidelines of ethics were developed by the independent working group established in 2018.

The code will be tested and appraised by the industry representatives, government, and research institutes. The EU Commission is expecting feedback and comments on the proposed code of ethics in order to estimate the result of work and offer a plan for further actions.

AI to benefit Kyivans

Non-governmental organization Smart City Hub has announced the launch of large-scale project AI for Kyiv. It implies the introduction of AI-fueled tools to the city digital infrastructure.
