Let AI Save the Environment

Estimated Reading Time: 3 minutes

The environment today needs our help! While a major chunk of our race has been busy degrading it, there is also a part which is focused on helping the Earth survive!

Greta Thunberg, the crusader for the green mission has now and then focus on how the current generation has become overly dependent on technology, in fact so much so that it has started spoiling the environment so much!

Even though I find nothing wrong in what she said, it is after all true. However, every coin has two sides, and this situation to has a side which has to be discussed and embraced for all the good.

It is true that now the world cannot function without technology, and anything devoid of it is obsolete. however, it is this technology which comes in handy a lot of time, especially when it comes to saving our environment. There are several technologies which are currently being used to safeguarding the environment and helping in a variety of ways. Even education hasn't been left untouched from AI, imagine teaching young children how to use AI for saving the environment!

Few of the solutions in this field which are helping regenerate the earth are:

1. A research group at USC has developed a technology that uses AI to develop optimization methods for wildlife conservation planning--an area where highly limited budgets need to be allocated to protect the most ecologically effective land. Furthermore, the solution also uses machine learning and game theory to help protected areas fight the poaching of endangered animals, including elephants and rhinos

2. AI applications also track mosquito populations to anticipate or prevent the spread of disease, as well as weather changes, to warn populations about upcoming storms. This not only helps the state department track the stock of medicines for any mosquitoes infected disease.

Know More: How Tech Changed the Art of War

3. Companies such as Literati now monitor your trash and tell you a report about how your daily trash is harming the environment! imagine getting a detailed report of your trash.

These were just a few instances of how technology has helped our environment and how this cycle is constant. There are several changes that go about in our environment, and let tech be our best friend in saving the world!

The Luke Arm: How Star Wars Inspired the Prosthetic Arm of the Future

The history of prosthetics is a long and oftentimes curious testament to the creativity and resilience of humanity. We first find records of them around the year 1500BC when Egyptians took it upon themselves to craft fiber-based prosthetics, some of which are even thought to have been functional. Since then, the history of prosthetics has moved from semi-functional fiber to solely aesthetic metal limbs, to legs made out of various materials attached to harnesses that allowed limited movement, passing through the well-known peg legs and hooks. Post-World War II heavy investment and technology innovations have produced radical improvements that have made prosthetics more functional, comfortable, and realistic. Researchers have struggled with providing prosthetics with a sense of touch, but not anymore. Over the past fifteen years, a biomedical engineering team at the University of Utah have developed a prosthetic arm that allows users to feel what they are touching inspired by ...

Brace yourself! You will be hired by computers now...

Estimated Reading Time: 1 minute There was a time when humans made computers and ensured that they constantly kept evolving it; after all, it was just a machine. However, times have now changed. Human is no longer the smart ones, and how could they be when a computer is used to hire them? Doesn't feel nice right? Imagine a computer deciding if you are capable enough for anything or not!! However weird it sounds, it is the reality of modern-day HR. We thought that AI was only helpful for big analytical and number related stuff. However, this isn't true anymore. Computers have been making decisions for us for quite some time now, and computer-based hiring is just a step ahead! From taking online standardised tests to appearing for computer-based behavioural interviews; the world has come a long way. As if beating people in Poker wasn't enough, AI has crept its way in here too. The future of HR is both digital and human as HR leaders focus on optimizing the combinatio...

Introducing Beginners to Tomorrow’s World of “Internet of Things”
