How Python Powers AI-Driven Image and Video Analytics in IoT Surveillance

Python is a versatile and powerful programming language known for its simplicity and readability. It is widely used in fields such as web development, data science, machine learning, automation, and more. A key strength is how Python facilitates AI-driven image and video analytics in IoT surveillance, enabling real-time monitoring and analysis. Its clean and intuitive syntax makes it ideal for both beginners and experienced developers. Additionally, Python’s rich ecosystem of libraries—like Pandas, TensorFlow, and OpenCV—extends its capabilities, while its cross-platform compatibility ensures smooth performance across various operating systems, making it a preferred choice for tech professionals.

Reading Report - Surveillance Capitalism

The second reading was Zuboff, Z. (2019) The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power. London: Profile, pp. 31-46. The book as a whole explores human nature as a selling point for big tech organisations, however we focused in on the first few chapters. In this Zuboff writes that "Capitalism evolves in response to the needs of people in a time and place" and how that has developed overtime.

The average persons life has changed significantly. For centuries you would be born into a family, and your fate was sealed. If your father was a baker then you were destined to also be a baker. "I am my fathers son". However, two centuries ago marked the start of the first modernity, and people moved further away from their home towns and move away from tradition. Zuboff mentions her great grandparents and that they were apart of this. There was still some underlying roles that remained, such as the husband earning a living, and the wife raising a family. It is not until the second half of the 20th century that the second modernity comes to fruition . it meant that "hundreds of millions of people gained access to experiences that had once been the preserve of a tiny elite". This includes university education, travel, and improved life expectancy amongst other things.

When i was reading i was able to draw connections from the lectures. Zuboff briefly mentions "Ford's incredible model T" , and I have since learned that Fordism is characterised by mass production and standardisation. Therefore i feel comfortable in agreeing with Zuboff regarding the first modernity.

What struck a chord with me most is her statements on the second modernity: "...but by the second modernity, the self is all we have". I agree with this statement. Zuboff writes how it is exacerbated by the internet, but i also think having a growing population with the aforementioned once-luxuries is a contributing factory. This is because as there's more people than in history ever, there is no 'smallness' anymore. Scientific advancements have told us that the individual is finite in an infinite universe. Just as you can be a small icon on the internet. I believe that the internet has satiated a desire to be heard, and an acceptor of our existentialism. Especially when some people indirectly use their twitter account as a public diary.

This text is relevant to me as an illustrator because of how it covers capitalism. Newspapers are also a mass produced product, and in their prime, illustration was a big part of it.

Week 1 - History and Methods of Illustration in Informative Contexts

(Front page of The Illustrated Police News from February 16, 1867.)

“[…] used a technique called end-grain woodblock engraving. Ironically, when the industrial revolution came to the periodical press, it would have to abandon metal for wood to print illustrations at scale.”

“Illustration as we know it developed from early printing methods such as woodblock. Improved printing processes made art available to the masses and not only a closed elite. Reproduced art became more accessible for people than original fine art and forms of visual communication developed to take advantage of this. Illustration helped show the world to people in an age before photography was widespread.

Illustration educated people on social issues and also entertained in the form of cartoons, satire and picture books. One of the first Illustrated books for children was Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland Illustrated by political Illustrator for Punch, Sir John Tenniel.

People became surrounded by Illustration with its increased use in society. It helped explain, communicate and show moments in time.”

“One of the basic ways that illustrations aid retention relates to the well-researched (but not undebated) dual-coding theory of memory (Paivio, 1971). This theory proposes that information is stored in long-term memory both as verbal propositions and as mental images. It suggests that when information is presented verbally and visually it has a better chance of being remembered. Corroborating research shows that concrete words are remembered better than abstract words, and that pictures alone are remembered better than words alone (Fleming & Levie, 1978). From the dual-coding perspective, an explanation is that concrete words help us generate associated mental images, and that pictures alone help us to generate associated words, in addition to detailed mental images. The combination of verbal proposition and mental image establishes multiple pathways by which the information can be retrieved from memory.”
