  • Google DeepMind is listening to fish as a means of monitoring the coral reefs that they inhabit.  It's a remarkable use of AI technology to determine the health of coral reefs during this time of Climate Change.  Here are some key facts:
  • Google used deep learning and trained an AI model on thousands of real fish recordings that were identified by marine biologists
  • The public also helped by listening to reef fish recordings on the website Calling in Our Reefs
  • Healthy reefs are noisy with the sounds of fish
  • Unhealthy reefs sound like radio static
  • All of the information has resulted in the AI-powered SurfPerch tool that measures the volume of fish sounds to determine the health of the reef
  • Google's tool is an example of AI being put to work to monitor Climate Change, help save endangered coral reefs and provide a big assist to marine biologists in the process.
