AI in the Field

AI can swim through the ocean to collect temperature readings

AI can replace the scientists who normally study climate change

AI makes ocean sensors more accurate than they would be otherwise

AI can process data from more sensors than a human could simultaneously

AI made the scientific discoveries and published the findings

AI handled the part of the work that was too large, too fast, or too subtle for humans to do alone

AI replaced the need for scientists to be in the field

AI designed the research studies and decided what to investigate

Recording the audio data from the ocean

Deciding what the change means and whether action should be taken

Flagging that the pattern is unusual

Comparing the new data to historical recordings
