The transcript mentions Best Bees Company uses an AI tool to analyze honey DNA (environmental and plant DNA) to identify the plant species present in a given area. This provides information about the biodiversity of the surrounding environment. The transcript does not detail other specific AI-driven tools used by the company.
The webinar mentions the use of acoustic sensors to monitor biodiversity. These sensors, combined with AI, can detect and analyze sounds from various species, providing data on their presence and abundance. Additionally, AI is used to analyze honey DNA (environmental and plant DNA) to assess the biodiversity of the surrounding plant life.
This webinar discusses the intersection of technology and biodiversity conservation. The speakers explore how AI and other technologies can be used to improve biodiversity monitoring, risk management, and conservation efforts, particularly within the context of business and urban development. The discussion also touches upon funding models and the economic viability of biodiversity data.
Verdan Metrics uses IoT sensors and AI to collect data on various environmental factors, including bug populations and air quality. This data is then analyzed using AI to provide actionable insights for real estate executives. For example, the system can identify the impact of pesticides on bug populations, quantify the effect's duration, and correlate air quality with the presence of pollinators like bees. This allows real estate companies to make data-driven decisions about landscaping and development that support biodiversity and reduce environmental risks.
The Enterprise Neurosystem group focuses on mapping and understanding the world's interconnected networks within ecosystems (bees, flowers, insects, water, etc.). They aim to identify root causes of environmental imbalance and develop solutions for restoration. The group collaborates with various entities, including the United Nations and developing nations, to find and implement these solutions. They also work on projects ranging from improving water quality to addressing air pollution, and even exploring the use of ancient building techniques for space habitats.
