Can artificial intelligence help us catalogue the 80 percent of life still unknown?
As climate change accelerates species loss, we are losing biodiversity faster than we can document it. This video explores how AI can help us decode the massive amounts of existing scientific data to identify species before they vanish.
Scientists estimate that 80 percent of life on Earth remains undiscovered by humanity. However, the rapid rise in global temperatures, shrinking habitats, and the depletion of food and water sources mean that many species are disappearing before they can even be studied. AI naturalist Sara Beery explains that the key to preservation may lie in the vast, unread archives of millions of existing images, recordings, and observations. By learning to process this existing data, we might uncover the knowledge necessary to protect the natural world.
