The Value of Reflection: During Times of Distress, We Must Stay Socially Connected June 23, 2020 Editor’s Note: The following was written by WIU Law Enforcement and Justice Administration Professor Anthony McBride. MACOMB/MOLINE, IL — Western Illinois University and many universities and colleges are the central hub of a community for creating leaders and changing and saving lives. WIU is the foundation for many to be proud to say “I’m a Leatherneck.” So, as a University community and a proud educational institution, during difficult times, we must respond as a shining institution, that many of its alumni represent in our communities. It’s the Western Illinois University way; it’s the purple that flows throughout the journey of every student; it’s the “Destined for Success;” and it’s the “We Believe in Where Your Potential Will Take You.” As an educator I support the student journey. I plan to help in the listening and healing process as we foster in our student’s education an...

The COVID pandemic has brought in a significant culture change for organisations where employers are relying on remote working for their business continuity. And, as companies are getting comfortable with the remote working ecosystem, many leaders have started hiring freelance data scientists or gig workers for their companies. The profession of data science comes with the advantage of having the ability to code, program, and solve business problems remotely. This, in turn, has created a freelance boom in the data science ecosystem, where companies are preferring to hire more freelance data scientists over in-house full-time core data science teams. A lot of this could be attributed to the flexibility option it provides to the data professionals as well as the best return on investment for companies, who are planning to cut costs amid this crisis. In fact, according to industry estimates , the Indian freelancers market size is going to grow to a whopping $20-30 billion by 2025, and a...

Getty Images IBM just got out of the business of facial recognition software. Microsoft and Amazon have limited what they are doing with facial recognition with law enforcement agencies. Facebook paid a $550 Million settlement related to their facial recognition technology. What is going on? These companies are reacting wisely to the potential for bias and the potential abuse of this technology in law enforcement. Let’s examine three main issues related to the use of facial recognition technology in law enforcement: bias, lack of federal regulations, and too many regulations at the local level. Bias Is this software biased? Almost certainly, but not in the way we think of bias in a politically-charged environment. The bias in facial recognition is related to the accuracy of “recognition” with minorities of all types. AI of this type is trained on large data sets. In many cases, the data used to train AI software consists of overwhelmingly white faces. That has to do with the ...
