AI listens for gibbons across Cambodia's Cardamom Mountains

Conservation International — An AI wildlife monitoring effort from the US-headquartered nonprofit Conservation International now picks up pileated-gibbon calls through listening devices at 10 spots in Cambodia's Cardamom Mountains, a south-western rainforest topping a million hectares. No camera reliably spotted the treetop-dwelling species, so researchers spent three months schooling a machine-learning species detection tool in the sound, tagging roughly half the nearly 800 calls in one six-week stretch. A parallel count of almost 150 units runs again this year.

    Method and sources

    Every entry on this page is a named organisation putting AI to work in a real job, taken from the State of Applied AI record. Each one is traced to the report it came from and dated, and where a figure is the organisation’s own the entry says so rather than presenting it as an independent result. Readiness, ecosystem and policy figures, where shown, are attributed on the card to the body that published them.

    The record is maintained continuously by the Industrial Research Unit of the Straits Institute for Applied AI: entries are added as they are found and verified, not on a schedule, and nothing is published without an open source behind it. It currently holds 4731 entries across 249 countries.
