Forests are being mapped in real time with drones and machine learning.

From tracking deforestation to identifying rare species, tech is helping ecologists protect what matters.

Code really can save trees.

From one of the originators of the #Occupy movement, an experimental #Activist #AI forged from the core of their own praxis, challenging organizers to abandon dead rituals, sharpen #StrategicVision, and dare to imagine what real #transformation could look like beyond symbolic #protest, beyond mere slogans. It’s counsel is both practical & unsettling, drawing from histories of failed uprisings and forgotten victories, always demanding originality over comfort.

Meet #SocialJustice #AI (#SJAI):

It’s an #LLM that has undergone #PostTraining in #VirtueHacking analysis (#VHA), so that it can help us expose hidden agendas, break cycles of escalation, challenge oppressive systems, foster #empathy, find equitable solutions, and generally #advocate for social #justice.

Have a chat with it and get to know it.

Whilst developed on #ChatGPT this method can enhance any capable LLM.

Anthropic's new AI for Science program gives researchers up to $20k in API credits to accelerate biology & life science work using Claude models. Can AI truly boost scientific breakthroughs despite past hurdles? #AIforGood #BioTech #Anthropic

GIScience researcher Steffen Knoblauch has just returned from a research visit at the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) in Cape Town , where he built upon his PhD research at the intersection of geoinformatics and public health.

His work focused on integrating Earth Observation data with bioacoustics to monitor mosquitos and enhance dengue disease control.

Does everyone here in Europe want EU AI services now? I am currently hearing more and more that. I hope it's because they want to avoid American products and not because they want to replace labour.

Qiusheng Wu 准教授による AI for Good Workshop “Mastering remote sensing image segmentation with AI: A hands-on workshop with the Segment Anything Model” に参加して、現状ここまでできるというリアルな実例のほか、オンラインハンズオンのやり方とか、colab の設定とか。何よりバックグラウンドの知識も含めた大学の講義も YouTube で公開してくれているので、この分野を本気で極めたい学生にとって良質なコンテンツを使わない理由がない。今時の大学生に必要なのは良質なハンズオン動画コンテンツなんだよなと、先月のBlenderハッカソンでの学生の動き方をみていても実感。

#AIforGood or even just AI that isn't making the world a terrible place, needs three things: lots of data; smart coders/mathematicians; good governance.

Unregulated capitalism and a market controlled by oligarchs with extreme libertarian views is most certainly not giving good governance of AI. #TECREAL

The least bad outcome is #Enshittification

As a blind, autistic, chronically ill person learning to program, Perplexity has been an absolute game-changer for me!

Its AI-powered search provides clear, concise answers that are easy for me to process. The accessibility-friendly format works great with my screen reader. And being able to ask follow-up questions helps me dive deeper into coding concepts at my own pace.

But it's not just for coding! Perplexity is also helping me write clearer posts and emails. It ensures my thoughts are organized and expressed effectively, which is a huge help with my communication challenges.

Perplexity adapts to my unique needs, making learning and communicating so much more accessible and enjoyable. It's become an invaluable tool in my daily life and programming journey.

Exciting news for the blind and visually impaired community! ElevenLabs has partnered with HarperCollins to create audiobooks for deep backlist series that might have remained unheard of.

This is a game-changer! AI-driven text-to-speech technology is transforming books into audio versions that would have been too costly or time-consuming to produce otherwise. Now, more stories come alive in audio, opening up a world of choices for those of us who love to listen.

Reduced costs & speedier production mean audiobooks can be made in just an hour! This is perfect for turning out more titles in non-English markets, giving blind and visually impaired readers access to a broader range of stories, cultures, and languages.

And it’s not just about quantity—it’s about quality too! The ability to select or design specific voices makes these audiobooks more engaging, bringing each story to life in a unique way. It’s AI working its magic, ensuring that everyone, regardless of vision, can enjoy a rich literary experience.

This partnership shows how AI can be a true force for good, making literature more inclusive and accessible. It’s all about bringing people closer to the joy of stories, one audiobook at a time!
