There is a void where AI could fill in the circular economy field, according to a recent post by Hassan Murad (Intuitive AI) for the World Economic Forum (WEF).
This is 'attention layer' (data infrastructure that captures human behaviour at the moment of decision-making), in the very act of disposal. Billions of decisions happen every day at bins, cafeteria trays, and recycling stations, but a way to track and record said behaviour is still missing.
However, according to the WEF, emerging AI systems are beginning to fill this void. At disposal points, computer vision at waste stations can now identify items in real time, recognize materials and brands, provide behavioural feedback, and meter every interaction, noted Murad.
Is anyone in the Inspired.ch community working on attention layers? Could this mean a bridge with active innovators or investors in the Circular Economy community?
