In this podcast episode, the transformative role of artificial intelligence (AI) in conservation is explored. Researchers are harnessing AI to sift through vast amounts of data from various sources, such as audio from hydrophones, images from camera traps, and social media, to monitor animal populations, study behaviors, and observe ecosystem changes. This cutting-edge technology enables a more efficient and thorough data collection process compared to traditional methods, yielding vital insights that inform crucial conservation strategies amidst climate change and habitat loss. The episode showcases AI applications in monitoring species like sea turtles, coral reefs, and zebras, shedding light on its impact in the field.
