Article "Artificial intelligence used to combat poaching"
The research builds on the idea of green security games - the application of game theory to wildlife protection. Game theory uses models of conflict and cooperation between rational decision-makers to predict the behaviour of adversaries and plan optimal approaches for containment.

Robots vs monsoons!
Published on Jun 22, 2016
Quote:
The Bay of Bengal off the coast of India is about to get some new inhabitants: robots!
Scientists from India and the UK are collaborating on the largest study of India’s monsoon season and the results could improve the lives of over one billion people. The robots will gather data underwater as the conditions in the Bay of Bengal change during the monsoon season. When the robots surface, they’ll beam the information up to the research team.
Better understanding the monsoons could help people in countless ways, from minimizing the damage from flooding to improving crop yields. The more we know, the better!

Using artificial intelligence to save bees
Published on Jan 29, 2019
Quote:
A beekeeper teamed up with the Signal Processing Laboratory 5 and a group of EPFL students to develop an app that counts the number of Varroa mites in beehives.
This parasite is one of the two main threats – along with pesticides – to bees’ long-term survival. Knowing the extent of the mites’ infestation will allow beekeepers to protect their bees more effectively.

How Brazil’s first AI for Earth grantee plans to use AI to better conserve precious rivers
Published on May 23, 2019
Quote:
SOS Mata Atlantica “exists to protect one of the most endangered forests in the world: the Atlantic Forest and its associated ecosystems and people.” As Brazil’s first AI for Earth grantee, the organization plans to leverage Microsoft’s artificial intelligence technology to improve its clean water initiative. Nearly 3,500 volunteers currently monitor more than 250 rivers throughout the Atlantic Forest, which includes the vast majority of the country’s urban population and its biggest cities. Now, the NGO hopes to evolve from issuing annual reports to sharing more actionable insights – backed by strong data – that could impact public policy and save a precious resource from the ravages of pollution.

Huawei now: tree-planting AI robot
Nov 12, 2019
Quote:
Global warming is one of the biggest threats to our planet and the most effective way to fight climate change is by planting trees. Huawei has teamed with East China Normal University in Shanghai to create a low-cost, energy-efficient AI robot, which can plant trees 24 hours a day. The main technology behind the robot is the Huawei Atlas 200 DK computing platform, which is an AI inference device powered by a Huawei Ascend 310 AI processor. Video encoding and decoding capabilities of the AI processor, as well as up to 16 TOPS computing power, mean the robot can identify obstacles and dangers in surrounding areas in real time so it can plant trees effectively and efficiently. Watch to see how this cool invention can help improve the environment.
