Canadian researchers use AI in project Antenna to rapidly monitor global insect declines.

Researchers in Canada are using AI and technology in a project called Antenna to monitor the mass extinction of insects, aiming to double the amount of biodiversity data collected over 150 years within two to five years. Using solar-powered camera traps and high-resolution cameras, the project, based in Montreal, seeks to create decision-making tools for governments and environmentalists to develop conservation policies. The initiative also includes educational features, like an app for identifying butterfly species.
