AI-assisted wildlife surveillance is eavesdropping on endangered spider monkeys
Briefly

Biologist Jenna Lawson discreetly deployed 350 audio monitors in Costa Rica's Osa Peninsula, utilizing AI to track the endangered Geoffrey's spider monkeys and analyze critical data.
AI-assisted wildlife surveillance is urgently needed as 28% of all species face extinction. Innovative machine-learning techniques provide faster, cheaper, and improved ecological studies.
Microsoft's AI for Good Lab aims to tackle technical challenges in biodiversity monitoring through solar-powered, energy-efficient devices that can operate autonomously and transmit data via satellites.
The development of constant monitoring systems in remote, biodiverse areas represents a significant step towards better understanding and conserving our planet's ecological health.
