Can AI Help Us Identify Animals?

The video discusses the challenges wildlife biologists face in collecting and analyzing data about wild animals. It highlights the Snapshot Serengeti project, which uses automatic cameras to gather vast amounts of data, and the difficulties in processing this data manually. The introduction of AI has revolutionized this process, allowing for rapid and accurate data analysis. AI can identify species, count animals, and categorize behaviors, significantly reducing the time required for data processing. The video also explores how AI is used to analyze internet data, such as YouTube videos, to study wildlife, freeing up researchers to focus on drawing new conclusions.
