How Innovations in AI Sensor Technology Analyze Ecological Data

Every day, it seems that there is another innovation regarding how artificial intelligence can be used to do things humans couldn't do on their own. Several weeks ago, it was reported that scientists can now use AI to listen to conversations that dolphins are having with each other; an algorithm assists a research team go through millions of echolocation clicks made by these marine mammals found in the Gulf of Mexico. Although this may not seem important, learning about how new innovations with AI sensor technology can sift through ecological data may help to see how climate change and oil spills impact dolphins in this region while being a catalyst to other possible breakthroughs with artificial intelligence. Machine Learning is a component of computer science that allows computers the ability to understand without being programmed explicitly. Evolved from the study of pattern recognition and computational learning theory in artificial intelligence, machine learning explores the study and construction of algorithms that can learn from and make predictions on data.
