NEC reveals 90% accurate landmine-predicting AI technology

Whatever the accuracy people who really market and sell that product won't be necessary in minefield risking their life.

Feel good story of the day. Land mines is war on civilians long after the war has ended. Good on NEC for allocating resources to this project. I hope they can get beyond 90% accuracy as well.

I guess, anything below 100% isn’t helpful so much. Btw, personally I have already developed a 100% accurate method. I just don’t go to countries and areas where I could expect mines potentially. Works great so far.

Something that I had never thought of, that I shall be sure to add to my list of things that I would not trust 'AI' to do.

Predicting where landmines might be doesn't locate them for removal. For that task you need Gambian Pouched Rats.

Japan (and other civilized countries like Sweden) signed the Ottawa Treaty, forbidding the use of land mines. We should demand that U.S. signs the Ottawa Treaty as well!

I guess, anything below 100% isn’t helpful so much. 

The article makes it painfully clear how this technology is extremely helpful

Using the technology, the time needed in narrowing 800 sites down to probable landmine burial sites can be shortened to a few hours from several years.

Your "method" on the other hand has no usefulness and do absolutely nothing to protect the people that live in countries affected by this criminal behavior.
