Imagry moves to make buses autonomous without mapping
- Imagry has developed 'HD-mapless driving' software stack which helps autonomous vehicles in reacting to dynamic contexts and situations more accurately.
- The software eliminates the need for externally installed sensors and heavy-mapping.
- Imagry's AI Vision 360 and hardware-agnostic system allows buses for SAE Level 3/4 operations without mapping dependencies.
- Buses have been selected as a better fit for level 4 autonomy over passenger vehicles, as it can easily be integrated into specific routes and has simpler use cases in urban areas.
- The company has signed a 10-year contract with Continental for the development of a software-defined vehicle platform.
- Imagry in Turkey, France, Spain, and Japan is now retrofitting electric buses to be autonomous.
- Imagry uses 3D vision for perception and motion planning similar to what Tesla uses.
- Bus service request could be made through a button at the stop or on an app that also handles payment.
- The human supervisor handles the data collection to train the system along with Imagry's proprietary tool for annotation to train faster, better, and cheaper.
- The design cycle of the system is around 4 years, while integrating with a bus takes only 2-3 months and up-and-running within 18 months.

Design Patterns in Python for AI and LLM Engineers: A Practical Guide
- Design patterns offer a clear structure to design more efficient and maintainable systems for AI and LLM engineers in Python.
- Design patterns work in three main categories - Creational Patterns, Structural Patterns and Behavioral Patterns.
- Singleton Pattern in Python is used to create a class with only one instance and provide access to that instance globally.
- Factory pattern in Python delegates the creation of objects to subclasses or dedicated factory methods for creating different types of models, data loaders or pipelines based on the specific context.
- Builder Pattern separates the construction of a complex object from its representation. It is useful for building pipelines, managing configurations, and readable objects that have many parameters.
- The strategy pattern allows switching between different strategies (inference or data processing) depending on the requirements.
- The observer pattern establishes a one-to-many relationship between objects in the real-time monitoring of events, data synchronization and metrics.
- Design patterns have unique characteristics in AI engineering as they involve dynamic workflows rather than just managing a database and user session.
- When implementing design patterns in AI engineering, one should consider the scalability and performance implications.
- Using best practices such as not over-engineering, documentation and testing can help improve code organization and make it more maintainable.

AI Can Be Friend or Foe in Improving Health Equity. Here is How to Ensure it Helps, Not Harms
- Healthcare inequities and disparities in care are pervasive across socioeconomic, racial and gender divides.
- AI is already helping to streamline care delivery, enable personalized medicine at scale, and support breakthrough discoveries.
- Inherent bias in the data, algorithms, and users could worsen the problem.
- Those who develop and deploy AI-driven healthcare solutions must be careful to prevent AI from unintentionally widening existing gaps.
- AI can help ensure inclusiveness, reduce harm, and optimize outcomes by analyzing population data and flagging disproportional representation or gaps in demographic coverage.
- AI can help root out implicit bias and suggest care pathways that may have previously been overlooked.
- AI can forecast health risks for underserved populations and enable personalized risk assessments to better target interventions.
- AI has incredible potential to accelerate workflows behind the scenes to reduce disparities, making care more affordable and accessible.
- We must integrate all of this data so that key pieces are included, regardless of formatting or source.
- AI practitioners have a responsibility to conduct bias audits, build diversity assessments into our AI development process, and understand how the model makes decisions.
- Organizations must work together to set standards and frameworks for data exchange and acuity to guard against bias, which can help democratize access to complete, accurate patient data.

Pankit Desai, Co-Founder and CEO, Sequretek – Interview Series
- Pankit Desai is the co-founder and CEO of Sequretek, a company specializing in cybersecurity and cloud security products and services.
- The cybersecurity landscape has long been marked by disparity, where the top 10% of companies have access to comprehensive, cutting-edge solutions, while the rest struggle with limited resources and expertise.
- Sequretek stands out by simplifying cybersecurity through an integrated approach. While many competitors offer isolated solutions, we consolidated endpoint security, identity governance, and threat detection into our unified Percept platform.
- At its core, our AI-driven platform, Percept, doesn’t just spot threats—it anticipates them.
- One major advancement will be how effectively AI systems can differentiate real threats from false positives.
- Organizations looking to strengthen their cybersecurity with AI should remember that AI is a powerful enabler, not a complete solution.
- AI can play a valuable role in understanding user behavior and enhancing security awareness through gamified learning, which can help reduce human vulnerabilities to attacks.
- Another critical area is identifying where AI can address inefficiencies in your current tools and processes.
- AI and machine learning can help you respond faster and with greater precision, particularly in areas traditionally slowed down by human dependency.
- However, it’s important to remember that no AI tool alone will ensure complete security.
