Google’s New AI Helps Identify Wildlife Species
Google just launched SpeciesNet, an AI model designed to help researchers identify animal species in camera trap images. By open-sourcing the model, it aims to assist wildlife researchers in analyzing data more efficiently. Think of it as a super-powered nature detective, sorting through endless photos to find the creatures hiding in them. It's a game-changer for conservation efforts and biodiversity research. The model’s now available for anyone to use, boosting global wildlife monitoring.
