AI to detect fraud developedd­eveloped

- By BUUMBA CHIMBULU

AN Artificial Intelligen­ce (A.I) software that could be used in security cameras to easily detect fraud among others, has been developed by a Zambian-owned technology company based in the Netherland­s, LabelFuse.

A.I is the simulation of human intelligen­ce processes by machines, especially computer systems.

Zambian Dutch-based technology expert and LabelFuse proprietor, Kelvin Aongola, said that deploying A.I technology in security cameras in Zambia could now identify a thief in a robbery scenario.

Mr Aongola said the technology could also tackle corruption through Machine Learning that automated data entry in public procuremen­t systems.

“What we do is A.I. for real time analysis. What that means is that, if, for example, you have cameras. Cameras generate a whole lot of data. All that feed that you’re receiving, you don’t really know what’s happening, and most CCTV owners just have to record, watch what happened and then make a decision.

“For example, theft. Theft will happen, your CCTV will just be looking

and that’s it; you only get to realise when the event is done. With A.I, things you can do is, when that thing begins to happen, you get to receive alerts and identify if someone is stealing, holding a gun or if someone is doing illegal things in a place where they are not supposed to be. So, that is where LabelFuse is now,” he said in a statement.

Mr Aongola said A.I. could identify all those anomalies in the data being captured.

He explained that where most of this corruption happened was where one allowed someone to manually fill in the informatio­n.

“The most important bit about the A.I. is more about the confirmati­on; confirmati­on could be visual, do you need a face identity or do you need us to identify trends with the data that’s being entered,” Mr Aongola said.
