The Australian reports today:
ONE of Australia’s leading researchers in artificial intelligence, who developed a computer system that can read sign language, is set to join internet giant Google in the US.
Such news wouldn’t normally warrant a mention here on Austrolabe except the researcher is Dr Waleed Kadous, occasional contributor to this site and co-convener of the Australian Muslim Civil Rights Advocacy Network (AMCRAN).
In this case, Google’s gain is our loss: they are gaining an outstanding researcher, and the Australian Muslim community is losing one of its most tireless and selfless campaigners and activists.
