Artificial intelligence will not be allowed to steal electricity
Source:
According to the publication New Scientist, soon for violators, who steal electricity will be artificial intelligence. The AI algorithm was developed by experts from the University of Luxembourg and has already been successfully tested in Brazil.
Brazil was chosen for the experiments is not accidental. The fact that in this country the issue of electricity theft is particularly acute: according to official statistics, 40% of consumers twisted the counters. But such phenomena are not insured and more developed countries. For example, in the UK fraud electricity leads to loss of 440 million pounds annually.
A Group of researchers from Monaco for 5 years I was testing my algorithm 3.6 million Brazilian homes. Every month, scientists collected meter data on the basis of which was developed the algorithm of actions, which «feed» artificial intelligence. This algorithm is able to recognize when energy consumption in the house was suspiciously low, but «electricity used». It turned out that the AI correctly identifies almost all potential cases of fraud or erroneous measurements that may indicate damage counters, and even the disturbances in the power grid. As Paul stated, Roosevelt from the energy Institute, University of London
"I Wonder what this AI can accurately determine the fact of theft, even the people who steal only 10% of the electricity. However, this algorithm can be applied not always. For example, to the adjacent buildings it is normal to have very different levels of energy use, which can lead to false positives».
