@tech4tracing is honored to be cooperating on the remote detection, identification and geo-spatial mapping part of this workflow.
Developed and tested remote mine destruction algorithm (successful) ☑️
What does it give us?
- process automation
- no loss of time to work with wires for detonation
- no risk of premature detonation of the explosive charge
Most importantly, no need for the sapper to work near dangerous objects, which practically eliminates the risk of accidents during demining
Glory to Ukraine!🫡

Proud of how far this project has come in the last six months and where it's headed. We have runway and are ready for scale-up. With all types of weapons and munitions to detect, the sky's the limit.

T4T was pleased to take part in today’s Demine Ukraine Forum in Kyiv. The side discussions were fruitful. We believe T4T’s computer vision-based AI technology can make a marked impact for the automated detection of UXO and other ERW in Ukraine

Researchers @adamhrv and @tech4tracing built a #ComputerVision-based object detector that will help mine action and human rights investigators detect submunitions in Ukraine.
Their peer-reviewed article appears in The Journal of CWD.

T4T's intervention this morning at the UN OEWG on Conventional Ammunition stressed the capabilities that computer vision will bring to illicit ammunition documentation. Current references to new technologies in the draft Global Framework should stay!

We #StandWithUkraine on accountability for atrocity crimes to ensure perpetrators are brought to justice. #EUFPI head @pmwBxl met prosecutors & police from areas close to the front line to discuss 🇪🇺support to the OPG’s regional offices & 🇺🇦 vision for victim centred justice.
During the first phase of this project, we will build an inventory of high-priority arms, ammunition and explosive ordnance object detectors and scope the creation of fit-for-purpose mobile platforms to integrate multiple detectors and generate data for accountability mechanisms.

T4T was honored to have been invited to present at @REAIMsummit this week on "Arms Control for the 21st Century," showcasing our work with @adamhrv on computer vision detection of munitions. The conversation on AI in the military must include a focus on arms control applications.

New technologies can improve ammunition traceability in the absence of packaging information after diversion events, said T4T Reseach Director yesterday at the third session of the UN Open-ended Working Group on Conventional Ammunition. #newtech

Rapid advancement of science and technology is starting to outpace our efforts in developing norms. We must make sure they bring enormous benefits to humankind while possible “dark side” will be regulated.
We are looking forward to this Summit in February 2023.
.@INakamitsu from @UN_Disarmament raises an interesting question: "For example: can #AI make decisions in line with international humanitarian law?"
We'll discuss this during the Summit in February:

Great questions from EU Working Group on Conventional Arms Exports (COARM) members following our presentation on Friday of computer vision and OCR enhancements for diversion documentation. Thanks to @BelgiumMFA for arranging our visit. #newtech #armscontrol

Good to see that academia is starting to pick up and pay attention to the arms control opportunities presented by new technologies.
Happy to announce that our new book
"Armament, Arms Control and Artificial Intelligence. The Janus-faced Nature of Machine Learning in the Military Realm"
edited by @CyberPeace1 and myself is now available.
