The development of artificial intelligence systems has become much easier thanks to the new DeepLens camera from Amazon.

The new $250 camera features the recognition of objects, faces and automatically classifies some human movements that programmers can use to develop their own applications and tools for self-learning. Small companies' access to this technology at affordable price can make a big difference to smart systems, such as voice assistance.

How does DeepLens camera work? Artificial intelligence systems rely on artificial neural networks that activate the brain's function to learn.

These artificial neural networks can be trained to identify patterns of information such as speech, written data, or visual images, which have formed the basis for many achievements in the world of artificial intelligence over the past few years.

DeepLens uses a four-megapixel camera to shoot 1080p high-definition videos, along with a microphone for voice recording. The new camera is powered by the Intel Atom processor and a memory of 8GB, capable of playing video frames from the deep learning models in the camera itself.

The camera is connected to devices and networks via Wi-Fi and the USP.

The new camera comes with a range of artificial intelligence tools that allow developers with humble experience in machine learning to design and test their own innovations.

Saudi Arabia Wins Gold, Two Silver Medals at International Standards Olympiad

Saudi Arabia Wins Gold, Two Silver Medals at International Standards Olympiad

The Saudi national team secured a gold and two silver medals at the 20th International Standards Olympiad, which was held in Korea from August 12 to 14 and featured 40 teams from around the world.

This year's medals mark a significant improvement over the Kingdom's first appearance last year, when it won a bronze medal and a certificate of appreciation, underscoring the strong performance of Saudi students on the international stage and reflecting the Kingdom's commitment to promoting a culture of quality among its youth.

The four student teams that represented the Kingdom in this year's Olympiad — from both intermediate and secondary levels — were prepared for the competition through intensive training and qualification programs under a strategic partnership between the King Abdulaziz and His Companions Foundation for Giftedness and Creativity (Mawhiba), the Ministry of Education, and the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization.
