US Immigration and Customs Enforcement is reportedly exploring the use of artificial intelligence to monitor the phone calls and physical movements of people in its detention facilities. The plans raise questions about privacy, civil liberties, and how surveillance technology should be used on detainees, and are drawing debate among technology and policy observers.
- 2AI framework proposed for monitoring historic masonry structures●A RAG-enhanced multi-agent LLM/VLM framework for auditable and region-aware structural health monitoring of a historic masonry structure
Researchers have presented a multi-agent framework combining large language models and vision-language models, enhanced with retrieval-augmented generation, to monitor the structural health of a historic masonry building. The system is designed to be auditable and region-aware, meaning its assessments can be traced and adapted to specific parts of the structure. The work, published in Nature, points to growing use of generative AI in heritage conservation and civil engineering inspection.
