The rains in Dubai are yet another harsh reminder of the reality of climate change!! We all know addressing climate change requires both mitigation and adaptation. At Google we recognise the unique opportunity to empower individuals, organizations and governments with the data and tools they need to drive positive action for our planet. It also means using our deep legacy in research and the breakthroughs we’re making in AI to accelerate innovation that can tackle climate change. One example is Google Research’s program in India called AnthroKrishi. India's massive agricultural sector is a lifeline for millions, but farmers are at the biggest risk from climate crisis. AnthroKrishi uses AI to analyze satellite imagery and gain agricultural insights, allowing farmers to understand what types of crops to plant and where, as their fields change over time. It's a powerful example of the kind of AI application and collaboration needed to solve the impact of climate change on agriculture. https://lnkd.in/gCpEdV5g  #EarthDay

Despite the growth of the video on demand market, traditional TV viewership is seeing a slow but steady growth worldwide.    However, this doesn’t seem to be the case in the UAE.   TV viewing has declined among UAE residents, according to YouGov’s latest media report.   A higher proportion of UAE residents (70%) spent less than 10 hours per week on live TV viewership in 2023 compared to 2021 (54%).   Aside from this, video on demand (VOD) platforms have experienced increased usage in the last two years, with Amazon Prime and YouTube having had the largest uplift.   The report found that Gen Z were the most likely to use on demand services, with YouTube dominating Gen Z’s top choice for on-demand TV. How often do you watch TV? 🤔   #tv #vod #uae #media

When Dubai comes to mind, most think of sunny, cloudless skies. Yet, this Tuesday presented a stark contrast as the city experienced its heaviest rainfall in 75 years, with some areas receiving over 250 mm of precipitation in under 24 hours. Day turned to night, and torrential rain wreaked havoc, flooding roads and forcing motorists to abandon their vehicles. I captured this photo at 3 pm - just before the storm's peak. Stranded travelers filled airports, while others were trapped in cars for hours. My home, like many others, endured the full force of the downpour, leaving us without electricity or water for 2 days. Dubai's typical comfort felt distant amidst submerged ground floors and abandoned cars lining flooded streets. Nearby Oman suffered even greater losses, with nearly 20 lives claimed by flash flooding. These incidents contribute to a growing list of extreme climate events worldwide, underscoring the urgent need to raise awareness and strengthen our defenses. Climate change is no longer a distant threat; it's a reality, unpredictable and pressing. We must take decisive steps to mitigate its impact and safeguard our planet's future. #climatechange #UAE #Oman

Recent advances in the field of Artifical Neural #Networks have led to a renaissance of dystopian and utopian speculations on an AI-rendered future. Algorithmic technologies are deployed for identifying potential terrorists through vast #surveillance networks, for producing sentencing guidelines and recidivism risk profiles in #criminal justice systems, for demographic and psychographic targeting of bodies for #advertising or #propaganda, and more generally for automating the analysis of language, text, and images. Against this background, the aim of this book is to discuss the heterogenous conditions, implications, and effects of modern AI and #Internettechnologies in terms of their political dimension: What does it mean to critically investigate efforts of net #politics in the age of #machinelearning algorithms?
