The Bezos Earth Fund has announced a new $30 million investment to support teams around the world working to use artificial intelligence (AI) to protect the environment, climate, and nature. The funding is focused on enabling projects that use AI to analyze and understand complex ecosystems, including decoding the sounds of endangered birds, helping researchers better monitor and conserve species. Funded projects also include the development of automated tools to identify and categorize plant species with high accuracy, facilitating the study of plant diversity and the management of forests and nature reserves. Through this investment, the Bezos Earth Fund aims to accelerate innovation in AI-enabled environmental protection, enhance researchers' ability to make data-driven decisions, and provide innovative solutions to global environmental challenges. This initiative is expected to open up new avenues of collaboration between technology and environmental science, contributing to a more effective and sustainable protection of nature.
