Since 2022, artificial intelligence became almost like a drug for the engineers and brought a wave of radical changes in the world of automation. In the simplest form, we can say that, automation is a process of making the machine or the apparatus do the work automatically after receiving enough signals for the next action.
Whereas, artificial intelligence means the replication of human thought process aligns with machines, majorly through computers. Some AI are designed where they will eventually capture human speech, machine vision and so on. It also efficiently removes the repetition of the information to skip wrong results. But today, I’m not here to talk about the AI and its impact on human life. Recently, AI came up with some fantastic projects to save the planet. So we are going to see 5 important projects like this.
Smart agriculture and food systems
Agriculture is the most important aspect of every country to keep their population all healthy and contribute to the nation’s economy. AI has been designed in such a way that it will pick the necessary information about the crops and its harvesting time. It also informs the farmers when to water the crops, how much to water the crops, what all types of components are needed to be added in the crops soil to make it more fertile. Apps like, climate app, AgriSync and Vence Corp arey very helpful.
Smart disaster response
Experts claim AI to be so powerful that it can detect the data from the environment. It can analyse the weather at that particular place, where the app has been installed. Then based on the available data AI can send the notification well in advance to inform the local government.
In northern part of India, almost all the provinces are flooding. If there would have been AI app installed, probably the app would have sent the prior notification and probably the government could have saved majority of the population from losing their property and other important assets. UbAlert, Storm tracker, natural disaster monitor and tsunami alert AI apps have been very helpful as of now.
Distributed energy grids
Shortage of energy is another major concern we all are fighting with every single day. Fossil fuel is constantly decreasing, so experts are in the verge of finding alternate energy options. AI has the power to detect the need and efficiency renewable energy in a specific location. It can also show the amount of power consumption, power reserve, any upcoming power shortage pretty easily. Micro grids, energy trading, predictive analysis have proven their efficiency in this sector.
Transparent digital earth
To protect this planet, tracking the illegal things is very important. Nowadays, an open API infused AI app can be positioned in such a way where its constantly analysis and monitoring illegal deforestation, illegal construction, water extraction, spreading water pollution and poaching. With the help of evident data and satellite imagery, legal actions can easily be taken by the governing bodies. This is a great way to monitor huge forests as it is very challenging for the forest rangers to keep a track of the big landmass. Apps like, Plume Labs air quality, TL;DR, PrevisIA are very helpful.
Learning about Earth Sciences
Learning about our planet has become very essential. This phenomenal AI app is so effective in capturing all the necessary information from across the globe. It doesn’t require to input any data and substantially needs less computing power. This app has collaborated with earth scientists and to study material science, climate science, biology and soil conditions of all the places.
DeepMind co-founder, Demis Hassabis mentioned that materials science is so advanced that it can detect the materials to build a room temperature superconductor. It’s a hypothetical substance which allows to find out efficient energy systems. Mystery science, the Earth by Tonybop, Gizmos, earthquakes for kids are some of the AI apps which can help kids and the coming generation to learn more.
It’s a fact that our planet is in danger, but it is still our responsibility to take care of our payment. So we can protect our planet for the coming generations. If we can start reviving the planet now then we can reverse the situation very soon. Let’s not use AI to create problems for the world, rather let’s use it for a good cause.
