While AI is making a big impact in pretty much every business area, it is also important to note some of the ways it is helping to save our planet. Conservationists are increasingly turning to AI as an innovative solution to overcome various biodiversity crises. It helps protect a diverse set of species and assists law enforcement agents who are often short-staffed, and it is almost impossible for them to cover a vast stretch of land, such as a national park. This is one of the reasons why AI is so useful because it can take a lot of the time-consuming work off the shoulders of human workers, such as constantly monitoring surveillance data. In this article, we will talk about some of the interesting ways AI is being used to protect endangered species and the data annotation that is required to create it.

But with the help of thousands of artificial intelligence-powered cameras, there's a chance to slow down the slaughter of animals using the same facial …

With Earth Day come and gone the initiative to save our planet is fresh in our minds. And that's not limited to global warming and putting a stop to pollution; poaching remains a big problem when it comes to preserving the world around us. Luckily researchers have been testing out how we can use scientists to help the fight against poaching. According to Science Daily, organizations such as the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Army Research Office have teamed up to look into how artificial intelligence (AI) could be used to stop poaching and illegal logging. Led by scientists at the University of South Carolina (USC), researchers have found ways to use game theory, or the mathematical theory of conflict and cooperation, to protect parks in a more proactive way.
