AI, Customs, and the Future of International Shipments. Long read.

i thought this kind of tecnology using ai for scanning was already at some airports,no?

It is, as mostly pilot programs.

Good thread @BALLISTIC I agree with a lot of the concerns but I have to say that muon tomography would be incredibly inefficient for scanning incoming packages. The US has over 3 million incoming packages per day from abroad.

Cosmic muons arrive at roughly ~1 muon per cm² per minute, using quick napkin math, it would most likely take over a day to scan a single 20ft shipping container as of right now.

You did mention that it will improve, and while I agree, I don't believe that will help the fundamental process and it would still slow it down.

Most drugs aren't that dense either so it would constantly be a balancing act between total overkill, time and false matches.

The features needed for scanning incoming packages can be done by X-Ray like they have now. It's fast (minutes for an entire container), cheap and the machines that they have access to already discriminate materials way better than what we're used in (for example) hospitals.

One of the missing links with X-ray was always (better) AI/recognition, which like you said, that's going to be an even bigger problem now.

Better stock up.

I didn't look that far into its operation needs to be honest so thanks.

VACIS is already utilized and was advance tech in the middle east between 2002-2005. It became more prominent shortly after as it advanced rapidly, gamma ray vision systems have jumped light years ahead in today's world.

Where they have a will, they pay for, manufacturer, acquire, the way.

its a possibility in the future time nothing will be available with this kind of technology as it seems?everybody will be natural lol

If that were true, then think about this. This would imply that bodybuilding itself would be utterly destroyed. The sport would perish completely. I highly doubt that this is a realistic expectation in the coming years. However, we aren't sure what this means for recreational, non-competing folks who enjoy using PED's to enhance their life for the better. Honestly, no one has a fucking clue what this new ai technology will do for the PED world in the near future.
