Wild Innovation: How AI Will Transform Conservation
I’ve always enjoyed helping people connect with nature and natural resources, whether that’s sharing about the Sustainable Forestry Initiative’s (SFI) conservation work, quizzing friends about which critter is making a noise in the middle of the night, or telling someone not to eat the pretty red berry they found on a hike (seriously, don’t eat it). Anytime anyone asks, and the countless times no one does, I love explaining to my friends what blue crabs are and how to catch them. Although this has been my designated role for as long as I can remember, the rise of artificial intelligence, or AI, has changed the landscape.
