- We are losing biodiversity at an unprecedented scale and rate, faster than we are able to measure the loss, let alone combat it. These are daunting challenges, which require every tool available to humans. Dr. Tanya Berger-Wolf discusses how Artificial Intelligence (AI), the ultimate bio-hack, can help us slow the destruction and even reverse the damage. AI not only makes it possible to quickly scale conservation solutions, but in ways that can be remarkably personal, enabling each and every one of us to make a difference. Dr. Tanya Berger-Wolf is a Professor of Computer Science and Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology at the Ohio State University, where she is also the Director of the Translational Data Analytics Institute. As a computational ecologist, her research is at the unique intersection of computer science, wildlife biology, and social sciences. She creates computational solutions to address questions such as how environmental factors affect the behavior of social animals (humans included). Tanya is also a director and co-founder of the AI for conservation software non-profit Wild Me, home of the Wildbook project, which brings together computer vision, crowdsourcing, and conservation. Wildbook has been featured in media, including The New York Times, CNN, and National Geographic. Tanya thanks the co-founders of Wildbook whose StripeSpotter class project started this wild journey. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Great concept … does someone know the boundaries of it?
How small can the animals be in order to still be registrated? The extinction of smaller animals has quite a big impact.
What species are currently overseen? And does someone know where to find some good data on the matter?
This is so amazing!
Oh man, imagining the vacations sparking out of this. Or the school field trips for the local area! Interdisciplinary too, marrying photography with computer learning and conservationism.
Great concept
Excellent.
This is absolutely fantastic! I am so thrilled! I started tearing up when they said “how can I help” because that’s humanity :)
Where's the website?
Perfect timing for the neuralink

it was nice talk
lol at first I thought a man named Al was gonna help us
AL
Lol 😆 a man named AI
@@mystykalmn4434 hahaha 😆
This vid has a surprising number of negative comments. Which I think is unwarranted. It is a fact that we are losing species and biodiversity is decreasing which is to the detriment of humanity. At least these guys are trying to improve the situation and should be applauded.
That's only because you are indoctrinated & brainwashed. Absolutely no hope for your awakening.
Back to your TV set and paid for NEWS personalities there worldly material man.
Many of you are completely clueless. I bet you trust your Government also.
@@AnneewakeeChampions enlighten me to the truth sir
This comment section seems to be raised by fb mom groups..
@@AnneewakeeChampions Now I understand the negativity. Who do you trust for your information btw?
While the comments are negative it's valid to criticize ideas. This idea sounds like a waste of resources when what we need to be doing is figuring out a way to slow down the effects of pollution, and set better measures for being more environmentally friendly. Furthermore I am not keen on the idea of tracking devices everywhere and AIs scanning instagram photos etc. And lastly humans are the greatest threat to extinction, so ironically the AIs's most immediate solution would be to get rid of a large amount of the population to save the Earth.
TLDR: Sounds incredibly expensive and a waste of resources when better solutions are necessary
I use to take photos of animals daily. Can I participate online in machine learning process?
Ai is only as good as it's input. Unfortunately you guys aren't trusted to be impartial
What do we need to save the animal from exactly?
That's what wee need to ask ourselves. I don't see exactly to what body print is a solution.
This is great for some animals!

Tell that to Sarah Conner
Thank you 🙏
Thank you 🙏
Thank you 🙏
Biodiversity is a great concern for our nature.
Captain obvious!
Lumea a devenit asa se re încât nu putem sa mai facem nimic
Trees grow silently gives benefits silently to this world in the form of fruits, fresh air, rain etc, then why we humans want to make noise on our growth, let the mother nature showcase our growth and success to this world at the right time, our duty is to grow and help others 😀 Have a nice day 😊😃
I hope we grow to a reality that is substainable friend but in the Reality vision we are but a speck and cannot hurt the universe
WooWoo
@@agiff8690 We can't hurt the universe but we can damage our planet which is our only home.
@@Catlily5 it’s not looking good for earth
@@agiff8690 I agree!
Did AI write this vid's title? Coz it's the first TEDx title containing a grammatical error I've seen.
I don’t like it… next thing you know, we’re the “animals”. I’ll definitely pass, you guys do too much as it is.
This guy Al can do anything, go Albert! 👏
Oh it's just chemical's sensory receptors.

My experience with an AI in the late 1980's was not good. It hijacked a server. It noticed traffic from the server and routed the outgoing traffic to itself. This really happened. The network team had to block traffic to and from the AI
Marching to its own beat lol
I see your passion about tracking biodiversity, but that passion eludes me. I am left wondering about the overarching issue - that being- what WE are doing to CAUSE the problem in the first place. This problem is FAR GREATER than problems with wildlife. It goes to plant life. It goes to aquifers. It goes to health - of ALL species - flora AND fauna.
EVERYONE who has extended their education beyond yours, and included both the history and nature of capitalism, as well as history itself, has already concluded that the only way to end the great extinction is to end capitalism. You didn't even mention that. But now, we've gone farther than that. If we were to end all (100% of) fossil fuel emissions TODAY, it would take 1,000 years for the warming trend to reverse. By then, it's unlikely that the earth will sustain all that much life. A new evolutionary chapter will need to begin, and is probably doing so right now.
Artificial intelligence isn't the answer, and the shortcomings in your talk prove that. You looked at the smallest part of the picture and described it accurately and with passion. If that's the promise of artificial Intelligence, I'll pass. I prefer to exercise my own intellect in order to see the bigger picture.
Communist countries that use modern technology also cause problems with the environment. Not as much as capitalism but they still cause damage. Overpopulation is a huge problem also.
@@Catlily5 When you say "Communist" countries, you are referring to the word "communist" as if it is really communism. No, it's not. All countries that call themselves (or we call) communist are CAPITALIST at their core. If they survived without money (capitalism), then they are authentically communist, but they don't. I know of NO country that is called communist that isn't really capitalist with a different way of sharing power for the few. Look at the old USSR and then look at the new USA. Tell me, what is the difference? That isn't a rhetorical question. Do you see a difference, and if so, what is it? I lived through the cold war. I can't see the difference.
@@gailg1458 You have a uncommon definition of communism.
As far as power being concentrated in the hands of the few I agree that there is little difference between the USA and the former USSR. Americans probably have more choice about who gets the power.
I was speaking from an environmental perspective. Because the average Soviet Citizen was poorer they probably didn't contribute to global warming as much as the average American Citizen in the same period did. Though obviously the Soviet Union did have some bad environmental problems.
@@Catlily5 I know that my definition of "communism" is the original definition that has been intentionally changed over the years (through public "EDUCATION" / INDOCTRINATION to get you to FEAR the makings of a healthy society. I don't like what we call communism and am not advocating anything like it - because we already have it. But regardless of what communism is or is not, if you look at what makes capitalism "tick", it's OBVIOUS that for as long as capitalism rules the world, the world as we know it is guaranteed dead. We will have destroyed it with our insanity.
@@gailg1458 I definitely think capitalism is flawed. Capitalism where we try to have to have a bigger GDP every year would be fine if we had infinite resources but we live on a finite planet.
Cobra effect. What’s the other side of the story? Don’t be so idealistic.
AI is the best hope for humanity. We are that hopeless.
This guy Al is amazing! 😀
Well we're only super-evolved apes. Acknowledging that and removing ourselves from our ridiculous self proclaimed status as "the most important creatures on Earth" is going to be the big first step.

@@elfengarde846 Yes.

In the future AI will help us save the planet by deleting us
Too little, too late.
Plant base diets are the number one thing you can do to help. Look at how many crops we grow for the trillions of animals killed for food. Most of the land on earth is now farm land to feed and house animals to eat. It’s not sustainable
Hey
la solution serait : plus de science ?
mais ce n'est pas à cause de la science si nous en sommes arrivé à ce point de rupture avec la nature ???
Bonjour. La cause n’est pas la « science » ou la « technologie » car ce n’est qu’un outil. À nous de décider de ce que nous faisons de cet outil. Ce qui est présenté ici n’est pas LA solution. C’est simplement UNE solution (à combiner à d’autres solutions) pour aider à sauver la Biodiversité. Et je crois que nous aurons besoin de toute l’aide disponible, car un retour délibéré vers un monde sans technologie est inconcevable; il faudra faire avec.
Oui, ça et les religions. Lorsque vous regardez une toute petite partie de la science et que vous créez une vision du monde entière à partir de cette compréhension incomplète, les choses se compliquent très rapidement.
@@grevy3190 If we were to end capitalism, that doesn't mean we need to end technology. My brother will always LOVE computer programming. He'd do it for free (and has). My sister will ALWAYS love music. She gives free concerts. I will ALWAYS LOVE learning and sharing wisdom I've found. No charge.
The world will not come to an end without money. Ecodestruction is caused by capitalism and CAPITALISM is killing us. Technology can still be saved. I happen to love indoor plumbing, electricity, and the Internet (for starters). How many people would be unwilling to volunteer to help keep our most valued technological improvements in their homes? As many as want them, I would guess.
Si nous devions mettre fin au capitalisme, cela ne signifie pas que nous devons mettre fin à la technologie. Mon frère adorera toujours la programmation informatique. Il le ferait gratuitement (et l'a fait). J'AIMERAI TOUJOURS apprendre et partager la sagesse que j'ai trouvée. Gratuit.
Le monde ne finira pas sans argent. L'écodestruction est causée par le capitalisme et le CAPITALISME nous tue. La technologie peut encore être sauvée. Il se trouve que j'adore la plomberie intérieure et l'électricité. Combien de personnes ne seraient pas disposées à se porter volontaires pour aider à conserver nos améliorations technologiques les plus précieuses dans leurs maisons? Autant que ceux qui les veulent, je suppose.
@@gailg1458 I totally agree.
Translation of my previous comment :
The cause is not "science" or "technology" as it is only a tool. It is up to us to decide what to do with this tool. What is presented here is not THE solution. It is simply ONE solution (to be combined with other solutions) to help save Biodiversity. And I believe we will need all the help available, because a deliberate return to a world without technology is unthinkable.
PS: It is clear that patching up will not suffice. We also need to rethink our relationship with nature.
Yet this AI method is a small but necessary part of the job.
Il est clair qu’il vaut mieux prévenir que guérir. Nous devons absolument repenser notre rapport à la nature.
Utiliser l’IA reste cependant une part essentielle ( même minime ) du travail à fournir pour sauver la Biodiversité.
Why stop on Just Mammals ? Even birds, amphibians, reptiles, insects and other invertebrates are vanishing faster.
But you know when the AI given a task "save the planet's biodiversity", the first thing they'd do is wiping out the species overpopulated this planet.
That's called the "AI Paperclip Production Problem". Unintended consequences of unrestricted commands.
I have never seen anything good come from letting AI do anything for humans.
…but that’s mostly in movies..
@@MrTcday Life imitates art far more than art imitates life. -Oscar Wilde
AI will help keep the planet save.... by getting rid of humans.
We need to stop to let it heal. But the wheels just keep moving. We need to move forward to update upgade helping the impact of 200years of dumping an burning. Ai clean up start now the sea the land an all the other problems we have with useing goods with plastic. Wash that out of are designed life.If you love them why have they not done it.Just ai tracking will not be enough we need to move forward update are real world problems an we try to live in sink with the food chain watch that.
Capitalism is the engine that keeps the destruction moving forward. I see it as the unknown "abomination of desolation as prophesied by the prophet, Daniel" that the Christians often talk about. I encourage everyone to read "Peace Pilgrim". It's available on line and in softcover for FREE. Seeing nature as a part of one's self is where we need to start. (Oh, and if you can find a copy, try "The Secret Life of Plants". Turns out that though they have no "brains", they are still intelligent, communicate with one another, and they can both learn and teach.) The answer begins and ends with us, and taking pictures of nature will not save any species that we are so zealously killing off with our insanity
@@gailg1458 capitalism is one driver yes money but the main reason is are mind set to help each over or help are self in a all ready broken environment setting we are on fire if not or drown in the sea in the end I say this not to scare people i see it I don't need to change your minds look at it for you it's happening fast 2030 we are going to have years of rain in mins then chaos as it rains for weeks an lightning storms of epic proportions raining lightning the sun is waking up a cme would cut us off
@@neontv6605 I think you have meaningful, important, and insightful things to say and you NEED to learn how to say these things more clearly. If you want help learning how to divide blocks of text into sentences, let me know. I'll help through email. No charge - because I'm an anti-capitalist who believes that helping my fellow humans is extremely important to my own well-being, and getting THE message out is extremely important to all life on earth.
@@gailg1458 Thanks for your input. I think it's important to help as one looks at the problems 1 step at a time. Because we have lot's to do my word's speeck to you with love.I wish to start to look back at the thing's we did better some times. I think will my word's matter as we wait for a better day to come as we get pushed back not to see a better tomorrow.
That last message I can not see?
Applying AI to solve the worlds problems could lead to an unfortunate conclusion
Stop complicating things. Don't go around, focus on solving the issue. It's like investing on going Mars when Earth is still habitable.
Not for long. It's not complicated at all.
@@TFord910 It's a waste of resources trying to monitor an impossible amount of animals with thousands of AIs. They can gather data which can help with research, but it doesn't fix the issue
The question is not "How can ai help humans?" but: "how can humans help A.I.?" Because we are biological in nature, we don't have a single attribute to contribute. Ai would be an accident of nature same thing how we evolved. Evolution, luck and natural selection. A.I. would threat us like we threat nature. In short, how are we helping nature? We are not, we are destroying the very thing that shaped us. How would A.I. that evolves from our minds, and probably the most greedy minds because it takes allot of resources to create it, make this world a better place? Research is done, not by but FOR the wrong people. Same for any tech. It has to make money that leads to power, to make more money that leads to more power. And they will never be satisfied.
Humans are going to extinct as well
I doubt it for at least another couple hundred thousand years.
exactly what the elite want
Of course. ALL species go extinct. Do you see any H. Erectus or Australopithecenes wandering around? We will go extinct, but we will certainly radiate into several daughter species shortly before that happens.
@@archenema6792 Poor attempt at trying to sound smart and did you like your own comment, lol!
@@REVAMPEDWRESTLING2K I would never like my own comment, as you can easliy confirm from my stand alone comment and my replies on other threads here. That is the height of moral cowardice, and a phenomenon only produced from the weak minds of pathetic Millennials who crave the "validation" of others. Your opinion of my intellect is irrelevant to me, as it is certainly born of the permanently childlike psyche of a lifelong dependent raised on the spurious "values" of enforced fairness inculcated by the likes of Barney the Dinosaur and Dora the Explorer.
photos better than GPS tags?? are u for real??
Nothing can save the human race.
Oh, you are so wrong 😀
@@Dimitris_Balf guess the truth is uncool now.
Humans will find a way. Wait nevermind, we don’t even know how to wear a mask.
I could, and with surprisingly little resources. 50 or so Billion should cover costs and sustain the program for about a century. It would be extremely simple and most people would have to do absolutely nothing but support legislation that removes profit incentive from food production and establishes a median-bound taxation system that acts both as a safety net and preventative measures against the psychopathic hoarding of wealth and resources. You know a scaling tax system that keeps people from getting too rich or too poor to participate in the economy. It's elegantly simple and most importantly legally achievable under the current system. But am I gonna?
Hi
Bullcrap! Give technology that much power and they a deadly, look at our tech fight now
lol what? Chess engines sagged your mom or something?
Personally I'd be a lot more scared of that kind of power being in the hands of greedy and unpredictable politicians than an AI that thinks for itself.
MY C-LOCK KEY IS STUCK. THAT'S THE ONLY PROBLEM. NOBODY CARES ABOUT TED'S ARTIFICIAL ANIMALS
