One of the critical reasons for the failure is that these organizations utilize human-centered modern slavery due diligence processes, which have significant weaknesses in identifying modern slavery offenses. This paper aims to propose modern slavery due diligence process which leverages the self-sovereign digital identity component, an AI-based modern slavery offense monitoring component, and a modern slavery offense blockchain component designed to help improve the identification of modern slavery offenses which would otherwise remain hidden. This process enables managers to identify and act on more modern slavery offenses due to low-cost continuous monitoring instead of high-cost sample-based monitoring.

As a result, AI is expected to replace what considered to be done by human intelligence. Additionally, human societies are willing to accept AI agents as members to collaborate with.

Ethics is a system of values that sustain the societies and it is considered as the most important. Therefore, there should be a way for AI agents to understand ethical values of human societies. In this paper, we show how to extract ethical values and moral values of the age from news articles using natural language processing. Our result shows that from newspaper articles ethical and moral values could be extracted and modeled for AI agents to refer. In conclusion AI can calculated ethicality of text by itself.

However, WHO and the world bank records show that 50% of the world lacks access to essential healthcare. This is more prevalent for skincare. This lack of accessible skincare and a highly prevalent misdiagnosis of skin diseases demands alternate approaches to achieve universal skincare coverage. Technology holds the potential to bridge this gap between patient requirements and quality healthcare. Historically the research on utilising technology to provide dermatology care has been limited to teledermatoscopy and decision mechanisms on images. This research proposes a method considering disease images and the symptoms experienced in the diagnostics. Different deep convolutional neural network architectures are evaluated to choose the best one for an image-based classifier, and a feed-forward neural network for a symptom-based classifier, the results of each combined to yield the outcome. The ensemble method classifies the disease from symptoms and image with an accuracy of 87.71%. This approach can potentially be used to provide quality accessible skincare over the world through web and mobile applications bringing us one step closer in achieving the United Nations good-health and well-being sustainability goals.","PeriodicalId":286271,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE / ITU International Conference on Artificial Intelligence for Good (AI4G)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124161441","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper we propose a solution using UP2 board (Edge device based on x86 architecture) where AI diagnosis can be performed on the local premise itself. We used PyTorch framework for training the model using EfficientNet-B4 network architecture. Trained model was optimized using Intel Distribution of Open-VINO, and hence there is no much compromise in execution time. Inference time for execution of single image in UP2 board is 0.2 sec.

False information provided through algorithmically modified footage, images, audios, and videos (known as deepfakes), coupled with the virality of social networks, may cause major social unrest. The emergence of misinformation from fabricated digital content suggests the necessity for anti-disinformation methods such as deepfake detection algorithms or immutable metadata in order to verify the validity of digital content. Permissioned blockchain, notably Hyperledger Fabric 2.0, coupled with LSTMs for audio/video/descriptive captioning is a step towards providing a feasible tool for combating deepfake media. Original content would require the original artist attestation of untampered data. The smart contract combines a varied multiple LSTM networks into a process that allows for the tracing and tracking of a digital content's historical provenance. The result is a theoretical framework that enables proof of authenticity (PoA) for digital media using a decentralized blockchain using multiple LSTMs as a deep encoder for creating unique discriminative features; which is then compressed and hashed into a transaction. Our work assumes we trust the video at the point of reception. Our contribution is a decentralized blockchain framework of deep discriminative digital media to combat deepfakes.","PeriodicalId":286271,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE / ITU International Conference on Artificial Intelligence for Good (AI4G)","volume":"109 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116170512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Identifying optimal connection paths is critical for proper network design. To overcome the inefficiency of applying standard A* path-finding method to complex topography, multiplier-accelerated A* (MAA*) algorithm, which utilizes a modified heuristic, has been developed in previous research. While MAA* can generally reduce computation time by ~90% at the cost of ~10% optimality, the computation burden can still be remarkable for some areas with intricate topological variations. This paper proposes an adaptive version of MAA*. By introducing intermediate nodes in MAA*, the new algorithm significantly simplifies computations in complex regions. This greatly facilitates the analysis and design of optimal network for cost-effective electricity supply to users in remote, difficult-to-reach areas.","PeriodicalId":286271,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE / ITU International Conference on Artificial Intelligence for Good (AI4G)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122907645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
