WhaleSpotter: A New AI System to Protect Whales in San Francisco Bay

The podcast episode discusses the implementation of a new AI system called WhaleSpotter in San Francisco Bay, designed to prevent ship strikes on whales. With a high number of whale deaths due to ship collisions, this system uses thermal cameras and other technology to detect whales and alert ships to slow down or change course. The system is particularly crucial as climate change pushes whales into the bay, causing an increase in ship traffic and whale deaths. The WhaleSpotter network is advanced, combining land and boat cameras, and aims to provide constant surveillance across the entire bay. The episode highlights the impact of climate change on marine life and the need for adaptation to protect these animals.
