Animal in the Loop
Manage episode 520932216 series 3687206
Our planet is home to 10 quintillion insects, 3.5 trillion fish, 428 billion birds and 130 billion mammals other than humans. Soon AI will be as much a factor in their lives as it is in ours.
In this episode, we'll hear from Max Taylor, an expert on animals and AI, about the different ways this is already happening, such as:
- AI trainers for dogs and cats
- Smart watch-style wearables for cows and pigs
- Wild animal surveillance
- Black-box insect farming
