00:15noting distinctions in sensory inputs,
00:18time, location, noise, and movement during intoxication.
00:22Researchers then used data differences
00:24to teach an AI model to spot cannabis influence
00:27in real time via phone sensors.
00:30Their AI achieved a 90% accuracy rate
00:33after training via smartphone data.
00:35This could prompt helpful notifications
00:38like ride-share suggestions.
00:39The lead author of the study said,
00:41it's important to give people the chance
00:43to change their behavior before something negative happens.
00:46This study aims to predict human behavior
00:48as a way to support people
