NOW TO NEXT: DESIGN IN THE AGE OF AI
Artificial intelligence permeates all aspects of our lives—from how we work to how we shop, eat, and even sleep. What AI-driven tools are already disrupting the field of design and how can business leaders keep pace with rapidly evolving technologies?

First time ever have i decided to take a look at a cyborg. While being marked as an ARS, Chisato seperated herself from other AI-driven mechs due to her own unique, peculiar nature. She is, a full-fledged human, resides inside a mechanical body. Due to circumstances, her heart and brain got transplanted into an automated frame. Yet, this does not hindered her happy-go-lucky attitude toward life in general. This explained her occupation: although she could have become an accomplished assansin thanks to her remarkable talents in slaughtering people, she chose not to. Instead, Chisato decided to be a security guard, working for the WPG for over 19 years, even go great lengths by using non-lethal bullets. This girl obviously hates blood. At first, her way of approach worried me about professionalism, but her reputation among the community proved me wrong, and I am glad for it. I do not approve violence by any means, and it would be interesting to see somebody go on the pacifist way.

Later today, I'll be doing a talk for the senior leadership team of the RCMP - that's the Royal Canadian Mounted Police - on the future impact of AI. I'll have a few hundred police and civilian officials in the room and will take a pretty broad but intense look into the future. I'll be covering both the opportunity for the use of AI for crimefighting and public safety responsibilities, but will also take a look at the fact that the acceleration of AI leads to an accelerated risk of unknown crimes yet to be committed based on technologies that don’t yet exist!
Another way to put a spin on this? It’s the risk of unknown crimes yet to be committed based on technologies that don’t yet exist! That’s the future of policing!
(And yes, I've had a little fun with AI in this post. Look carefully, and that's me in uniform!)
The story of AI in policing is a complex one, involving many new opportunities and new skills to battle comprehensive new criminal risks - and one that is wrapped up in a lot of controversy when it comes to privacy and constitutional rights. And there is no doubt that these issues are going to become even more complex as things speed up.
Let's start here. AI isn't necessarily new to the policing world - various police forces have already been using various forms of AI for quite some time. For example, just this August, Sentry AI’s “digital coworker” Sentry Companion was used to help arrest 12 suspects in a mail and package theft ring in Santa Clara. The software was used to analyze security camera footage, looking for defined "suspicious activity" - utilizing 'machine vision,' an aspect of AI that has been with us for quite some time and is already quite mature. There are countless other examples, including controversial programs in Canada, Britain, and elsewhere.
“Predictive policing” is also a very real trend - just as Spotify might recommend various songs on your musical preferences, or Amazon offers up products based on your shopping habits, predictive policing uses an algorithm to try to prevent crimes before they happen, based on algorithmic analysis of video or other sources. There is also the field of OSINT, or 'open source intelligence', where police forces use analysis of the Web or social media channels to find existing and new, emerging threats. All of this comes with some degree of controversy, of course, with a lot of debate, as both government legislators, ombudsmen, and public watchdog groups argue strongly against the privacy implications that come with this new era of intelligent technology, particularly video and image surveillance.
Even so, some “intelligence” doesn’t use actual AI. For quite some time, a few police forces have been using what are known as “super-recognizers” - police officers who have an exceptional ability to remember and identify faces. These individuals can go through massive amounts of security camera footage to identify suspects - and were used in 2011, for example. A series of riots in the UK. Even so, artificial intelligence and facial recognition software are seen by some as the future of crime-fighting around the world.
But what about the future? From a crime perspective, it’s pretty bleak. There is no doubt that there will be a significant number of AI-driven crimes, wherein criminals will create deepfakes for purposes of extortion, algorithms that can hack into computer systems to commit financial crimes, or algorithms that can analyze and manipulate financial data to influence or cripple financial markets. And there is absolutely no doubt that there will be an increase in AI-related cybercrime. As more and more aspects of our lives move online, we’ll see cyber fraud, hacking, data theft, AI-managed identity theft, and much more. One estimate suggests that by 2033, 80% of all crimes will be cybercrimes. The big problem here? Perpetrators are often hidden behind anonymity and evidence is largely digital, and AI will only accelerate that opportunity.
Then there is the crazy Matrix-like science fiction crime of the future that will involve various aspects of AI - the hijacking for terrorist purposes of autonomous vehicles or drones, the hacking of brain-to-computer interface technology, or digital currency theft (which is already occurring.) Remember my favorite phrase that starts "Companies that do not yet exist will build products not yet conceived.....?" The logical extension of that is that "nefarious elements will commit crimes not yet imagined using concepts not yet in existence with tools not yet in existence," or something like that.
What other issues might the RCMP be faced with? The list is vast. There are fast-emerging new digital identity crimes and synthetic personas - RCMP officers may need to unravel networks of AI-generated identities used for fraud, espionage, and misinformation campaigns. They may work with AI-driven analytics to identify patterns, trace digital fingerprints, and verify the authenticity of identities in cyberspace, which could become critical in fields from finance to national security. There is also a heightened risk of cyberattacks on critical infrastructure in Canada - everything from smart grids to autonomous transportation, which makes it a prime target for cybercriminals and state-sponsored attackers. The RCMP could play a critical role in securing vital national assets by detecting, investigating, and mitigating cyberattacks on healthcare, energy, and transportation networks, possibly using predictive AI to preemptively identify threats.
We also need to consider genetic data and crime - with genetic data increasingly stored online and used for medical, legal, and employment purposes, the RCMP could find itself managing complex crime cases involving the theft or misuse of this sensitive information. They may need to protect against bio-crimes that manipulate or weaponize genetic data, as well as address crimes where unauthorized access to genetic profiles leads to discrimination or exploitation.
What about AI-driven fraud and deepfake evidence? The RCMP will likely encounter AI-driven fraud where individuals are impersonated using deepfakes or audio manipulation, affecting cases from fraud to defamation. They’ll need tools that can authenticate real versus synthetic media, which will be critical in maintaining trust in digital evidence. The ability to verify the authenticity of video and audio recordings may become a core competency in future investigations. (This issue is of particular interest to me, as I was an expert witness back in 2003 in a Federal Court case as to the admissibility of the Internet as an evidentiary tool in a trial. Now imagine the impact of AI!)
In addition to these technological challenges, the RCMP will likely need to invest in training that combines traditional investigative skills with expertise in digital forensics, AI ethics, quantum computing, and cyber-psychology. Keeping the balance between maintaining public safety and respecting privacy and civil liberties will be paramount as the nature of policing evolves!
Here's the bottom line - as AI develops at a much faster speed with new technologies and ideas coming at us almost daily, criminals will likely find new and creative ways to use it to commit crimes - and that means that police forces must develop the skills, knowledge, and advanced capabilities to keep up. Police will need training on new investigative techniques and technologies involving AI - such the the use of advanced forensic software and tools that can collect and analyze digital evidence, and AI-powered video analytics tools that can detect anomalies and predict emerging threats. I've got a chart in my slide deck that walks through the nature of the opportunities.
Like any industry, career, and profession, the world of crime-fighting and public safety is in the midst of a massive change as a result of the acceleration of AI. It's not necessarily new to them - but the speed at which new issues, challenges, and opportunities are coming about is rather staggering.

Echoes of Tomorrow" is a visual ode to a future where artificial intelligence and robotics seamlessly integrate with human aspirations. This series delves into the potentialities of architecture, design, and daily life, transformed by the limitless creativity and precision of AI. It captures a world where physical constraints persist, yet human ingenuity is amplified through the vast possibilities offered by technology. These images offer a glimpse into a plausible future where constructions and landscapes are crafted with a detail and scale currently unimaginable - a tribute to the unforeseen ahead.
Poem:
In the glow of gilded domes agleam,
Where the wheels of time ignite their spark,
She stands, a relic of a bygone dream,
Gazing forth at dawn's impending arc.
She watches robots weave thoughts and steel,
In a choreography of code's own verse,
Where the line betwixt creator and creation
Is blurred in technology's harmonious curse.
We don ourselves in dreams' attire,
Forge bridges from lucid streams of data,
In a world where AI's breath infuses life
Into abodes we cherish, ever fonder.
Haiku:
Golden domes rise high,
Dreams of AI gently bloom,
New dawn, hope descends.

First time ever have i decided to take a look at a cyborg. While being marked as an ARS, Chisato seperated herself from other AI-driven mechs due to her own unique, peculiar nature. She is, a full-fledged human, resides inside a mechanical body. Due to circumstances, her heart and brain got transplanted into an automated frame. Yet, this does not hindered her happy-go-lucky attitude toward life in general. This explained her occupation: although she could have become an accomplished assansin thanks to her remarkable talents in slaughtering people, she chose not to. Instead, Chisato decided to be a security guard, working for the WPG for over 19 years, even go great lengths by using non-lethal bullets. This girl obviously hates blood. At first, her way of approach worried me about professionalism, but her reputation among the community proved me wrong, and I am glad for it. I do not approve violence by any means, and it would be interesting to see somebody go on the pacifist way.

New Age Facility Management is digital, IoT, and AI-driven. The FM Service providers who will not change for this transformation will be left behind.
In the AI-driven series of artworks by Duncan Rawlinson, vivid hues and organic forms converge to create a symphony of color and shape. Across this collection, swirling patterns emerge in striking shades of red, blue, pink, and white, each one infused with a vibrant energy that seems to dance off the canvas.
The composition pulls from a playful palette of cartoonish illustrations and minimalist abstractions, while the curvilinear patterns echo the fluidity and constant motion of the natural world. Organic forms blend seamlessly with the abstract, punctuated by the playful dotted patterns and irregular shapes, each evoking a sense of dynamic motion, almost as if the artwork were alive.
Rendered in the unique aspect ratio of 6:17, the series creates immersive landscapes that invite observers into a whimsical world of color and form. Abstract yet evocative of real-world elements, each piece harmoniously melds the familiarity of nature-inspired imagery with the ethereal quality of abstraction.
Rawlinson's exploration of AI as an artistic tool provides a refreshing perspective on abstraction-création, challenging traditional boundaries while embracing the limitless possibilities of digital artistry. With each piece, he transports viewers to an enchanting landscape of vivid color, playful patterns, and organic, nature-inspired forms.

Protocol for Handling Collected Bees and Preparation
Introduction:
For taxonomic reasons and species conservation, it is often necessary to sacrifice a limited number of specimens from a population, similar to an ecological biopsy.
Bees are not as easily prepared as many other insects for proper identification.
Why?
Bees (Apoidea: Anthophila) are "vegetarian wasps" with voluminous scopae and hair structures for pollen collection. On the other hand, Crabronid wasps (e.g., digger wasps), the sister group of Apiformes, do not have such branched hairs. Bees, with their fluffy hairs, are therefore difficult to prepare so that the hairs are useful for diagnostic identification. Keeping specimens in alcohol and subsequent preparation with a needle usually results in damaging the fluffiness of the hairs. Thus, the fluffiness of bee hairs needs to be technically preserved for taxonomic collections and macro photography. This is not a trivial task and is technically more difficult than, for example, preparing wasps, beetles, or other insects. Here, two methods (A) and (B) for "hairstyling" bees for diagnostic purposes and photography are used:
(A)
After catching a bee alive, it is easiest to kill the insect in a killing jar with a small ball of toilet paper tissue soaked with a little amount of ethyl acetate. Preparation of the bee should be within a few days, while the insect is still relaxed. The advantage of this procedure is that the specimen retains its hair color and fluffiness. However, the disadvantage is that ethyl acetate is not well compatible with good DNA and RNA preservation for subsequent barcoding purposes. Alcohol preservation is preferred whenever specimens need to be kept for longer than a few days.
(B) The alternative protocol is more elaborate but preserves DNA well:
1. For scientific purposes, preserve a living bee in 90% EtOH, e.g., in a Falcon tube.
2. Remove the field label from the vial and save it.
3. Pour off the EtOH and specimen into a small dish.
4. Transfer the specimen with soft forceps into a Falcon tube containing hot soapy water detergent.
5. Shake and wash for at least one minute.
6. Pour the liquid and bee into a small kitchen sieve and rinse with hot tap water.
7. Transfer the specimen into a special drying glass with a net cover. The bottom of the glass contains toilet paper for absorbing fluid. Dry with a hairdryer until the hairs are fluffy.
8. Transfer the specimen into a moist two-chamber box (e.g., Sistema). Allan Walls uses a small Sistema box produced in New Zealand. The lower compartment contains toilet tissue dampened with soapy water to prevent mold. The upper, perforated container (with ~6mm drilled holes) carries the specimen.
9. Place the container into an incubator at ~50°C (I use a honey bucket warming cabinet).
10. Condensation may form on the cover of the moisture chamber. Avoid dripping it onto the specimen the next day. Remove the box carefully.
11. Place the specimen on paper secured with needles on a styrofoam pad. Pin the specimen with an insect needle or a minutia needle. Arrange legs, antennae, and wings with fixing pins.
12. Leave for at least three days to dry (depending on the size of the insect). Identify the species using taxonomic literature, DNA analysis, and AI-driven identification platforms such as iNaturalist, ObsIdentify, or others.
For macrophotography, use an ultrasound bath at some stage to remove dust particles.

Protokoll zur Handhabung gesammelter Bienen und Präparation
Einführung:
Aus taxonomischen Gründen und zum Artenschutz ist es oft notwendig, eine begrenzte Anzahl von Exemplaren aus einer Population zu entnehmen, ähnlich einer ökologischen Biopsie.
Bienen sind nicht so einfach zu präparieren wie viele andere Insekten zur korrekten Identifizierung.
Warum?
Bienen (Apoidea: Anthophila) sind "vegetarische Wespen" mit voluminösen Scopae und Haarstrukturen zur Pollensammlung. Andererseits haben Crabronid-Wespen (z.B. Grabwespen), die Schwestergruppe der Apiformes, keine solchen verzweigten Haare. Bienen mit ihren flauschigen Haaren sind daher schwer so zu präparieren, dass die Haare für diagnostische Identifizierungen nützlich sind. Das Aufbewahren von Exemplaren in Alkohol und die anschließende Präparation mit einer Nadel führt in der Regel dazu, dass die Flauschigkeit der Haare beschädigt wird. Daher muss die Flauschigkeit der Bienenhaare technisch erhalten werden, sowohl für taxonomische Sammlungen als auch für die Makrofotografie. Dies ist keine triviale Aufgabe und technisch schwieriger als zum Beispiel die Präparation von Wespen, Käfern oder anderen Insekten. Hier werden zwei Methoden (A) und (B) zur "Frisierung" von Bienen für diagnostische Zwecke und Fotografie verwendet:
(A)
Nach dem Fang einer lebenden Biene ist es am einfachsten, das Insekt in einem Tötungsgefäß mit einem kleinen Ballen Toilettenpapier, der mit etwas Ethylacetat getränkt ist, zu töten. Die Präparation der Biene sollte innerhalb weniger Tage erfolgen, während das Insekt noch entspannt ist. Der Vorteil dieses Verfahrens besteht darin, dass das Exemplar seine Haarfarbe und Flauschigkeit behält. Der Nachteil ist jedoch, dass Ethylacetat nicht gut mit der Erhaltung von DNA und RNA für nachfolgende Barcoding-Zwecke kompatibel ist. Alkoholkonservierung wird bevorzugt, wann immer Exemplare länger als ein paar Tage aufbewahrt werden müssen.
(B) Das alternative Protokoll ist aufwendiger, bewahrt jedoch die DNA gut:
1. Zu wissenschaftlichen Zwecken wird eine lebende Biene in 70%-96% EtOH konserviert, z.B. in einem Falcon-Röhrchen.
2. Entfernung der Feldetikette vom Röhrchen und Aufbewahrung.
3. Abgießen des EtOH und des Exemplares in eine kleine Schale.
4. Überführung des Exemplares mit weichen Pinzetten in ein Falcon-Röhrchen, das heißes Seifenwasser enthält.
5. Schütteln und waschen mindestens eine Minute lang.
6. Flüssigkeit und Biene in ein kleines Küchensieb gießen und anschließend mit heißem Leitungswasser spülen.
7. Überführen des Exemplares in ein spezielles Trocknungsglas mit einem Netzdeckel. Der Boden des Glases enthält Toilettenpapier zum Aufsaugen von Flüssigkeit. Trocknen mit einem Föhn-Haartrockner, bis die Haare flauschig sind.
8. Überführen des Exemplares in eine feuchte Zweikammerbox (z.B. sistema). Allan Walls verwendet eine kleine Sistema-Box, die in Neuseeland hergestellt wird. Das untere Fach enthält mit Seifenwasser angefeuchtetes Toilettenpapier, um Schimmel zu verhindern. Der obere, perforierte (mit Bohrer erzeugte ~6mm Löcher) Behälter trägt das Exemplar.
9. Platzieren des Behälters in einen Inkubator bei ~50°C. (Ich benutze einen Honig-Eimer Wärmeschrank).
10. Am Deckel der Feuchtigkeitskammer kann sich Kondenswasser bilden. Man vermeide, dass am nächsten Tag Wasser auf das Exemplar tropft. Entfernen Sie die Box vorsichtig.
11. Platziere das Exemplar auf Papier, das mit Nadeln auf einem Styropor-Pad befestigt ist. Nadeln des Exemplares mit einer Insektennadel oder einer Minutiennadel. Ordnen der Beine, Antennen und Flügel mit Fixiernadeln.
12. Mindestens drei Tage trocknen lassen (abhängig von der Größe des Insektes). Identifizieren Sie die Art mit Hilfe taxonomischer Literatur, DNA Analysen und KI-gesteuerten Identifikationsplattformen wie iNaturalist, ObsIdentify, BUND-Insekten-Kosmos oder anderen.
Für die Makrofotografie wird in einigen Phasen ein Ultraschallbad verwendet, um Staubpartikel zu entfernen.

Poem:
In the glow of gilded domes agleam,
Where the wheels of time ignite their spark,
She stands, a relic of a bygone dream,
Gazing forth at dawn's impending arc.
She watches robots weave thoughts and steel,
In a choreography of code's own verse,
Where the line betwixt creator and creation
Is blurred in technology's harmonious curse.
We don ourselves in dreams' attire,
Forge bridges from lucid streams of data,
In a world where AI's breath infuses life
Into abodes we cherish, ever fonder.
Haiku:
Golden domes rise high,
Dreams of AI gently bloom,
New dawn, hope descends.
