Onek ofk thek challengesk ink Bigk Datak analyticsk involvesk thek abilityk tok analyzek
datak ink realk timek sok thatk organizationsk cank makek decisionsk effectivelyk andk
efficiently.k Onek emergingk trendk isk thek usek ofk Edgek Artificialk Intelligencek
(Edgek AI)k tok faciliatek realk timek analysis.k Microsoftk andk otherk companiesk
arek makingk tremendousk stridesk tok offerk productsk andk servicesk thatk supportk
Edgek AIk usek cases.
Somek researchk revealedk thatk Olympusk isk researchingk thek usek ofk Edgek AIk ink
hospitalk settingsk tok providek realk timek assessmentk ofk thek statek ofk operatingk
roomsk whichk isk currentlyk ak manualk processk fork mostk hospitalsk (Olympusk
Innovatesk ink thek Operatingk Roomk withk Azurek Datak Boxk Edge,k 2019,k 0:45).k
Insteadk ofk attemptingk tok sendk massivek amountsk ofk videok andk imagesk tok thek
cloudk fork datak analysis,k Olympusk isk usingk Microsoftk Azurek Datak Boxk Edgek
tok analyzek thek datak ink neark realk timek sok operatingk roomk doctors,k nurses,k
andk techniciansk cank makek decisionsk thatk couldk influencek surgeryk andk
patientk outcomesk (Olympusk Innovatesk ink thek Operatingk Roomk withk Azurek
Datak Boxk Edge,k 2019,k 1:18).
Anotherk areak wherek onek cank usek Edgek AIk isk ink detectingk gunk violence.k
Actuatek AIk isk ak Newk Yorkk basedk companyk thatk isk usingk artificialk
intelligencek andk computerk visionk softwarek tok detectk gunk violencek ink realk
timek usingk “smart”k camerask (Companyk Overview,k n.d.).k Realk timek
detectionk ofk gunk violencek cank bek utilizedk byk lawk enforcementk andk
emergencyk respondersk tok potentiallyk preventk furtherk injuryk ork deathk ork
evenk actk ask ak deterrentk tok criminalk activity.
Washington,k DCk usesk ak solutionk knownk ask “Shotk Spotter”k whichk cank
detectk whenk andk wherek gunshotsk ork soundsk thatk resemblek gunshotsk (suchk
ask fireworks)k occurk ink thek Districtk ofk Columbia.k Onek cank completek somek
interestingk datak explorationk andk analysisk usingk thek Openk Datak DCk dataset.k
Herek isk ak linkk tok thek ShotSpotterk datasetk fork anyonek ink thek classk interestedk
ink learningk morek (pleasek notek thatk onek hask tok zoomk ink onk thek mapk tok seek
thek gunshotk ork fireworksk locationsk onk thek map):k

Ink myk employmentk withk thek Unitedk Statesk Postalk Servicek Officek ofk
Inspectork General,k Ik amk awarek ofk ak usek casek wherek onek couldk leveragek
Edgek AI.k Ourk agencyk oftenk conductsk auditsk ofk Postalk facilitiesk tok ensurek
thek facilitiesk dok notk havek anyk Occupationalk Healthk andk Safetyk
Administrationk (OSHA)k standardsk thatk arek beingk violatedk thatk couldk causek
seriousk injuryk ork death.k Wek alsok conductk auditsk tok understandk howk wellk
thek Unitedk Statesk Postalk Servicek isk meetingk thek universalk mailk servicek
obligationk whichk includesk deliveringk mailk andk packagesk ink ak timelyk
manner.
Onek couldk potentiallyk positionk smartk camerask ink Postalk facilitiesk wherek
imagesk andk videok feedsk couldk bek collectedk andk thenk analyzedk usingk ank AIk
modelk deployedk onk ank Edgek AIk device,k suchk ask thek Microsoftk Azurek Datak
Boxk Edgek solutionk mentionedk earlier.k Thek AIk modelk couldk bek trainedk tok
detectk safetyk hazardsk ork workk areask wherek undeliveredk mailk isk
accumulatingk tok thek pointk thek accumulationk indicatesk mailk deliveryk isk
beingk delayedk ork thatk therek isk ak backlog.k Thisk usek ofk Edgek AIk wouldk bek
morek efficientk thank sendingk auditorsk tok physicallyk checkk facilitiesk onk ak
recurringk basisk andk alsok servek tok instillk confidencek ink thek Americank
taxpayerk thatk thek Postalk Servicek isk meetingk ork exceedingk servicek deliveryk
commitments.
However,k suchk capabilityk doesk notk comek withoutk ak cost.k Thek Postalk
service,k whichk isk alreadyk millionsk ofk dollarsk ink debt,k wouldk havek tok deployk
smartk cameras,k connectk thek camerask tok thek Edgek AIk device,k andk hirek
experiencedk datak scientistsk tok train,k interpret,k andk re-traink thek AIk modelk
overk time.k Ourk agencyk wouldk alsok havek tok developk policiesk andk proceduresk
aroundk collectingk thek imagesk andk videok feeds,k integratingk thek datak intok
auditk findingsk andk recommendations,k andk workingk withk thek datak sciencek
teamk tok identifyk falsek positivesk andk negatives.k Lastly,k therek arek challengesk
onk thek legalk andk ITk securityk frontk wherek concernsk aboutk protectingk
Personallyk Identifiablek Informationk (PII)k arek ak priority.
Ik amk interestedk tok heark ifk otherk classmatesk havek examplesk ork ideask onk howk
Edgek AIk cank bek usedk tok solvek Bigk Datak analyticsk challengesk suchk ask realk
timek analysisk ofk imagesk andk videok data.
