8. AI MAPS BIOLOGICAL RICHES OF THE RAINFOREST
“Greg Asner, an ecologist at the Carnegie
Institution for Science and Stanford
University, uses artificial intelligence and a
powerful spectral imaging method to map
the rainforest in unprecedented detail. By
identifying each tree species by its chemical
composition, he has shown the rainforest is
more diverse than anyone thought.”
