Cloud4Good: Using AI cloud technology to detect illegal wildlife trafficking

Date: Wednesday, 30th September 2020
Time: 12.30pm
Digital Venue: CrowdCast

In our next free online meetup, our friends at BJSS will be sharing their insights into a recent project they've been working on which uses AI cloud technology to detect illegal wildlife trafficking.

We like these sessions to be interactive. As always, you'll have the chance to ask our speakers questions throughout which we'll collate for a Q&A towards the end. We'll also have ongoing polls so we can get to know our audience.

Our expert speakers for the session are Jonathan Postans (Delivery Lead) & Piotr Penar (Technical Architect) at BJSS Bristol.

Did you know that illegal wildlife trafficking is currently considered the 4th largest black market in the World?!

Jonathan & Piotr have been working in partnership with Microsoft and Heathrow recently. They're leading an exploratory venture which uses innovative machine learning image recognition technology, underpinned by the latest Azure Cloud Services to detect illegal wildlife trafficking in checked luggage. They'll be talking through the project & the challenges the faced, plus giving an insight into how they utilised the tech surrounding it.

BJSS is a delivery focused tech consultancy with offices across the UK and US. Founded in 1993, their core focus is on providing expert software solutions and technical delivery across a diverse range of sectors which includes financial services, healthcare, retail and aviation to name a few. They previously won the Queen's Award for Enterprise for achieving a European first by migrating police data to the cloud.
