Scientists are using artificial intelligence to identify toxic blooms

#artificialintelligence

We're coming up on the time of year when people will be testing lakes for toxic blooms of cyanobacteria. Jason Deglint wants to speed up that testing process. Right now, he says it can take at least a few days. "The normal procedure is they take a water sample and they have to ship it to a certified lab," Deglint said. "Then a highly trained professional will sit down at a microscope, and they'll manually identify and count these different organisms."
