The program, an initiative of the Baden-Württemberg Center for Brazil and Latin America at the Universität Tübingen, aims to contribute to the internationalization of science and research. Scientists from several partner institutions will present their latest research data, promoting an integrated and constructive environment for scientific interaction and contributing global knowledge.
The lectures of the Tübingen Science Bridge are aimed at professors and scientific researchers, graduate students, as well as a more the general audience.
The online seminar will be held in English on the ZOOM platform in order to allow discussion and interaction.
Lecture Briefing:
Unfortunately, Latin America is one of the most violent regions in the world. Predictive security uses artificial intelligence to analyze these violence and crime-related phenomena to improve security resource deployment. This talk will review recent advances in the area developed and deployed in Colombia, including crime characterization and prediction, dynamic police patrolling, and citizens' perception of security quantification. The conference will also cover various ethical and social implications linked to the use of these technologies.
