AI and Biodiversity Change Global Center
@ABCGlobalCenter
Inaugural NSF Global Center pioneering AI-backed methods to study environmental change's biodiversity impacts.
Yesterday, on Earth Day, The Verge released an enlightening interview featuring ABC researchers. The article explores the transformative role of artificial intelligence (AI) in wildlife conservation. Read the full interview here: theverge.com/ai-artificial-…
New in @Nature: ABC researchers team up to reveal how #AI is reshaping biodiversity science: AI can help fill key gaps in species data, ecosystem mapping, and conservation. abcresearchcenter.org/news-events/ne…
The CV4Ecology program is organizing a two-week remote workshop that will teach computer vision and machine learning methods to former US public sector conservation scientists. Follow the QR code for more information and spread the word! #CV4Ecology #AIforConservation
A new study highlights how AI can fill major gaps in biodiversity knowledge and improve conservation efforts worldwide. Right now, AI is only being used in a few areas of biodiversity research, but its potential is huge! 🌍👩🔬 Read about it here: mcgill.ca/newsroom/chann…
Jenna Kline has been doing some incredible work in wildlife research, and her paper on an affordable, autonomous drone system for tracking animals was just published in Methods in Ecology and Evolution! Congrats Jenna! besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/2041210x/0/
