Only 500 leopard wild cats survive in the almost urban jungle of Taiwan and are on the verge of extinction. In order to protect the endangered species, DT42, a Taiwan-based deep learning startup is using AI (in collaboration with Taiwan’s Directorate General of Highways) to “detect leopard cats when they near roads and keep them out of harm’s way, reducing roadkills.” Just a reminder that while we can fear AI, it can come in handy.
