HEXWAVE, a new security imaging system supported by artificial intelligence (AI), will soon be tested in aviation. The Greater Toronto Airports Authority plans to conduct a week-long trial at Pearson International Airport. The Authority’s Dwayne MacIntosh tells ANDREW TUNNICLIFFE why he hopes the trial will be a success and why AI shouldn’t be feared.
The role AI will play in tomorrow’s world has long been debated, with supporters and sceptics often happy to promote the merits of their argument, whilst – almost all the time – questioning that of the other side. “Some people call this artificial intelligence, but the reality is this technology will enhance us. So instead of artificial intelligence, I think we'll augment our intelligence,” counters IBM CEO Ginni Rometty.
