"The hunter became the hunted," that is what artificial intelligence has currently done to poachers. As you've seen in the news, and all over the internet, poaching has grown into a global quandary. Poachers are killing thousands upon thousands of elephants, rhinos, and other animals and it's clear that previous efforts have not been able to stop that. But now, artificial intelligence has come to the rescue and believe it or not, the stubborn poachers have now turned into prey! Researchers from the University of Southern California Center tackling AI in Society are using deep learning to catch hunters in near real time –just before they strike.
