Farmers use AI to identify pests, protect crops

Fox News medical contributor Dr. Marc Siegel reacts to a'CBS Saturday Morning' report on how eating bugs could help fight climate change on'Fox News Tonight.' Farmers in the United Kingdom have started using artificial intelligence (AI) systems to help monitor their fields and protect them from dangerous creatures -- such as animals and insects. "It's pretty much like having a real human sitting here 24/7 and listening when we tell it to listen," developer Conrad Young said of his Chirrup system, which can identify bird species from recordings of chirps. The British-made program analyzes the "dawn chorus," or the early morning chirping that occurs when birds greet the sunrise. With each successive recording, the program is able to better identify all the birds in the area and help create a detailed database of the total biodiversity in the area.
