AI captures $billions from tax cheats
The Australian Taxation Office has used artificial intelligence on an industrial scale to identify more than $530 million of unpaid tax bills and stop $2.5 billion being fraudulently claimed.ATO deputy commissioner Marek Rucinski said the agency’s deep learning models had helped his staff identify $295 million in superannuation guarantee underpayments, and natural language models had scoured leaked documents, such as the Panama Papers, to detect $242 million owed by tax evaders since 2018.https://www.afr.com/technology/ato-captures-billions-of-dollars-from-tax-cheats-with-ai-20230727-p5drnf?btis

Sophia - the World's First Chatbot to Battle Domestic Violence
Israeli AI-Generated-Video-Chat-Company D-ID, which specializes in creating hyper-real AI avatars, brought Sophia alive using a combination of deep learning algorithms, image processing, and neural networks to animate her still photo. Sophia assists victims of domestic abuse 24/7 – no matter where they are located, and in strict confidentiality – to feel safe and confident enough to take the first steps to get help... Unlike a regular chatbot, Sophia can actually talk to users in seven different languages, making her accessible to populations who are not as literate, and a confidant for victims who don’t feel comfortable sharing their struggles... https://nocamels.com/2023/03/meet-sophia-the-worlds-first-domestic-violence-chatbot/

‘Like using sonogram on bridges and pavement’
Department of Civil Engineering, will develop an internal damage identification model that leverages deep-learning technologies.“This ACE system will be like using a sonogram on bridges and pavement,” Ham said. “We’ll use the system to find internal cracks—ones that aren’t always visible to the naked eye—without a closed lane on a highway. We’ll use a wave-scattering theory approach to determine the severity of those internal cracks.” See https://www.miragenews.com/like-using-sonogram-on-bridges-and-pavement-819588/

Robot apple harvester
Monash University researchers have developed an apple-picking robot that displayed a better than 85 per cent success rate in field trials.It seeks to "address chronic labour shortages Australia’s agricultural sector is experiencing brought on by COVID-19, as well as tackling the future food crisis."“Our developed vision system can not only positively identify apples in a tree within its range in an outdoors orchard environment by means of deep learning, but also identify and categorise obstacles [for]... the "optimum trajectory for apple extraction" said research lead Dr Chao Chen.Source: https://www.aumanufacturing.com.au/monash-researchers-develop-robot-apple-harvester

AI solution to combat diabetic sight loss
A cloud-based artificial intelligence solution, powered by Intel® technology, will be launched in India, greatly reducing the screening burden on vitreoretinal surgeons. Sankara Eye Foundation in India and Singapore-based Leben Care are deploying this comprehensive retina risk assessment software-as-a-service platform in India, which uses deep learning to identify retinal conditions in a short span of time with the accuracy level of human doctors. Netra.AI can accurately identify diabetic retinopathy (DR) and has screened more than 3000 patients so far. | shorturl.at/wBHKN
