EarthSenseAI

Climate change is driving ever more rapid shifts in our ecosystems. Understanding how our changing climate affects critical habitats and key species requires more and more data. Increasingly, conservation scientists utilize devices such as unmanned vehicles, camera traps, and hydrophone arrays. Unfortunately, they are now starting to drown in the enormous amount of data being generated. The ability to analyze the impacts of climate change and plan for the future is not keeping pace. Artificial Intelligence (AI) can help! Our mission at EarthSenseAI Center, a new 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is to make artificial intelligence accessible to scientists and government agencies who have only minimal cross-training by reducing barriers to AI and Machine Learning adoption. We are composed of computer scientists with diverse research and development backgrounds and all with a passion for connecting data collected in real-world environments to impactful conservation insights. The EarthSenseAI Center is dedicated to the open sharing of neural network models that we train and software that we develop. We will also be sharing progress on our projects and collaborations through blog posts by our machine learning specialists and conservation partners.
