Closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras, which can collect huge volumes of video data, are an excellent environmental monitoring tool. However, manually evaluating these massive datasets is time-consuming, difficult, and expensive, emphasizing the need for automated ecological analysis.Deep learning models have transformed computer vision, handling problems such as object and species detection. Their cutting-edge performance qualifies them for this application. The purpose of this work was to create and test machine learning models for distinguishing diverse animal species using camera trap images. On VGG19, GoogLeNet (InceptionV3), ResNet50, and DenseNet121, we used transfer learning. The best multi-classification accuracy was attained by GoogLeNet (87%), followed by ResNet50 (83%), DenseNet (81%), and VGG19 (53%). This evidence suggests that transfer learning outperforms training models from scratch for this task.","PeriodicalId":518964,"journal":{"name":"2024 International Conference on Artificial Intelligence, Computer, Data Sciences and Applications (ACDSA)","volume":"349 ","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140528588","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}

This paper investigates the role of AI software in augmenting both the inclusiveness and efficiency within the realm of PM. The research pivots around specific criteria that define and measure the inclusiveness of AI in PM, highlighting how AI, when developed with inclusiveness in mind, can significantly enhance project outcomes. However, there are inherent challenges in achieving this inclusiveness, primarily due to biases embedded in AI learning databases and the design and development processes of AI systems. The study offers a comprehensive examination of AI's potential to revolutionize PM by enabling managers to concentrate more on people-centric aspects of their work. This is achieved through AI’s ability to perform tasks such as data collection, reporting, and predictive analysis more consistently and efficiently than human counterparts. However, the incorporation of AI in PM extends beyond mere efficiency; it represents a paradigm shift in the epistemology of PM, calling for a deeper understanding of AI's role and impact on society. Despite these advantages, the adoption of AI comes with significant challenges, particularly in terms of bias and inclusiveness. Biased AI learning databases, which use shared and reusable datasets, often perpetuate initially discriminatory algorithms. Moreover, unconscious biases and stereotypes of AI designers, developers, and trainers can inadvertently influence the behavior of the AI systems they create. This necessitates a paradigmatic shift in how AI systems are developed and governed to ensure they do not replicate or exacerbate existing social inequalities. The research proposes a methodological approach involving the development of criteria for inclusion and exclusion, alongside data extraction, to evaluate the inclusiveness and efficiency of AI software in enhancing PM. This approach is crucial for understanding and addressing the challenges and limitations of AI in the context of PM. By focusing on inclusiveness, the study underscores the importance of a synergy between technological advancement and ethical consideration, demanding a comprehensive understanding and regulation to mitigate risks and maximize benefits. In conclusion, this paper presents a detailed exploration of AI’s role in PM highlighting both its potential benefits and the ethical challenges it poses. The findings and recommendations of this study contribute to the growing discourse on the need for inclusive AI systems in PM, offering insights for AI developers and Project Managers (PMs) alike.","PeriodicalId":518964,"journal":{"name":"2024 International Conference on Artificial Intelligence, Computer, Data Sciences and Applications (ACDSA)","volume":"1392 ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140528869","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}

To improve the operation process, the variation of the real power in time depending on the water flow on the turbine blades is learnt using means of artificial intelligence. The learning procedure is performed by training neural networks. The approached control structures consists of a cascade structure, with a PD controller in the internal loop and a fractional-order PID controller in its external loop. The achieved performances obtained by the process are improved furthermore by computing an adaptive system based on the strategy of converting the process between the continuous to discrete time and then back to the continuous time considering the variation in time of the sampling time.
