Skepticism Surrounding Current Ethics in AI

Concerns about Transparency and Bias Lately, there’s been a growing skepticism about the ethics behind AI, and it’s easy to see why. For one, transparency is a significant issue.

Self-Driving Car Lane Detection

I recently completed the Self-Driving Cars Specialization by the University of Toronto. While the course provided a comprehensive overview of autonomous vehicle technology, I wanted to delve deeper into the computer vision aspect. To gain hands-on experience, I developed a lane line detection program. This project involved: Image Processing: Applying filters and transformations to isolate lane markings from the surrounding environment. Edge Detection: Utilizing algorithms to identify the boundaries of the lane lines....
