Artificial intelligence is reshaping our world in countless ways — but what happens when we use it to protect the natural one? In India, where tigers prowl the outskirts of rural villages, scientists are training neural networks to help communities avoid conflict and protect their livestock. These systems of “traditional AI” aren’t resource-heavy — and they’re efficient, saving lives one alert at a time. In the fight to protect both wild predators and the people who live alongside them, this might be the wild card conservationists have been waiting for.
