Google AI Helps Whales and Ships Coexist

Whales and ships struggle to co-exist, with an increase in ship traffic, leading to strikes and noise pollution interfering with endangered species especially in the Pacific Northwest. Some solutions are in place, but the whales are still struggling. Technology may be able to help us listen and then learn from the orca. A new Google AI model is tracking and identifying orcas in real time through their echolocation calls. The data will alert regulators and the shipping industry to cetacean activity, helping the industry and the whales to coexist.
