Leveraging AI technology for more efficient conservation

Talk about a project to protect the Atlantic salmon against the invasive pink salmon species, which is increasingly threatening Nordic rivers. The solution relies on AI technology and cloud services. It also relies on a physical installation, and close cooperation with local authorities, and scientists. The solution has been tried, and tested successfully with a very high (over 90%) degree of accuracy in a river in the north of Norway.
