Getting down to Business with AI: Double Economic Growth Rates, Boost Labor Productivity

One of the examples of these areas in action is work Accenture is doing using a a combination of drones, computer vision, Bayesian learning and geospatial analytics to survey palm fields in Indonesia. Through the application of Artificial Intelligence, we've been able to help a leading forestry company in Indonesia analyze over 1 million records and 6000 variables covering 15 years across 0.5 million hectares of land. This involves combinations of disparate data such as GIS, Video, Water table, Soil information, historical inventory, work orders and more. Through this work we've helped identify deforestation and growth patterns, and identify areas and species where planting seedlings to reforest is not effective. We've gone from what used to take 36 human hours of analysis down to minutes.
