AlphaEarth Foundations helps map our planet in unprecedented detail

Google DeepMind 8 months ago

Google released AlphaEarth Foundations, an AI model that consolidates satellite imagery and Earth observation data into unified digital representations for global mapping and monitoring. The system creates summaries requiring 16 times less storage space than competing AI systems while achieving a 24% lower error rate on average across various mapping tasks. Scientists and organizations can now generate detailed, consistent maps on-demand for applications including crop monitoring, deforestation tracking, and ecosystem classification without relying on single satellite passes.

How AI is helping advance the science of bioacoustics to save endangered species

Google DeepMind 8 months ago

Google released an updated version of Perch, an AI model that analyzes wildlife audio recordings to help conservationists monitor endangered species like Hawaiian honeycreepers and coral reef ecosystems. The new model was trained on nearly twice as much data as the previous version and can process thousands or millions of hours of audio to identify multiple animal species simultaneously. The updated Perch is now available as an open-source model, and the earlier version has already been downloaded over 250,000 times since its 2023 launch.
