AI whale-spotting tech deployed in San Francisco Bay

By PulseAugur Editorial · [3 sources] ·

A new AI-powered system is being deployed in San Francisco Bay to help protect gray whales from ship collisions. The technology uses thermal cameras and AI to detect whales up to 7 kilometers away. Once confirmed by scientists, alerts are sent to nearby vessels, prompting them to slow down or alter course to avoid striking the marine mammals. AI

IMPACT This AI application demonstrates a novel approach to marine mammal conservation, potentially reducing ship-strike incidents.
