1. AI Sustainability: AI to Combat Floods, Wildfires, and Extreme Heat
Google is employing AI to tackle climate change challenges through various initiatives:
- Flood Forecasting: Google’s AI offers real-time flood forecasting through its Flood Hub platform, benefiting millions across the globe and aiming to expand globally, aiding proactive flood mitigation.
- Wildfire Tracking and Prediction: Google uses AI and satellite imagery for near real-time wildfire tracking and predictive models, collaborating with the U.S. Forest Service to enhance fire response.
- Extreme Heat Response: Google provides heat alerts and deploys AI and aerial imagery to identify tree-planting locations, reducing urban heat islands and mapping cool roofs to combat excessive heat in cities.
- Hurricane Prediction and Response: Google’s AI aids hurricane prediction and response, providing safety information via SOS Alerts and leveraging satellite imagery for effective disaster relief.
- Natural Resources and Food Security: Google employs AI to optimize traffic systems, improve air quality, and expand tree canopy insights in cities. They collaborate with Alphabet’s Mineral project to enhance food security, protect crops from locust outbreaks, and address climate change’s impact on these critical areas.

2. AI in Culture: Modern Art Museum Shanghai Is Using Immersive Technology
At Modern Art Museum (MAM) Shanghai, Shai Baitel is shaking things up as the artistic director. He believes the old way of just looking at art won’t cut it in our digital world.
Baitel wants to get people involved and make the museum experience more like a two-way conversation. To achieve his mission Baitel uses in the exhibitions he creates digital projections, AR, and VR into the mix to make art come alive and teach us something cool in the process.

3. Cinema: AlphaGo – The Movie
An award-winning documentary by Google on DeepMind’s journey to develop AlphaGo, an AI version of Go, the 3000-year-old Chinese board game.
With more board configurations than there are atoms in the universe, the ancient Chinese game of Go has long been considered a grand challenge for artificial intelligence (AI).
On March 9, 2016, the worlds of Go and artificial intelligence collided in South Korea for an extraordinary best-of-five-game competition, coined The DeepMind Challenge Match. Hundreds of millions of people around the world watched as a legendary Go master took on an unproven AI challenger for the first time in history.
As the drama unfolds, more questions emerge: What can artificial intelligence reveal about a 3000-year-old game? What can it teach us about humanity?

5. Events:
09-NOV-2023 SPS-IFC TC Webinar: Progressive JPEGs in the Wild
JPEG images in progressive mode have become more prevalent in recent years. Presumably, this surge is caused by the adoption of MozJPEG, an open-source library designed for web publishers. So far, the optimizations used by MozJPEG have not been considered by the multimedia security community although, they are highly relevant. In this webinar, Nora Hofer will delve into these optimizations and discuss their implications for steganography, steganalysis, and image forensics.
