The GAIA Initiative has developed and tested an artificial intelligence system that uses tagged white-backed vultures to detect and monitor wildlife mortality across vast African landscapes. This innovative approach combines animal instincts, human expertise, and machine learning to create an early warning system for environmental changes. “This combination of three forms of intelligence—animal, human, and artificial—is the core of our new I³ approach with which we aim to make use of the impressive knowledge that wildlife has about ecosystems,” says Dr. Jörg Melzheimer, GAIA project head and scientist at the Leibniz-IZW. Technical Implementation The project equipped 34 free-ranging vultures with … Continue reading AI Vultures Detect Wildlife Mortality with 92% Accuracy Using 13 Billion Data Points
