Adélie penguins can be indicators of environmental variations. Studying them in their natural environment makes it possible to monitor the impact of climate change on Antarctica, a region that is notoriously difficult for scientists to observe. But this has been made easier thanks to artificial intelligence, according to a study published in the journal PLOS One.
Researchers at Stony Brook University in New York have come up with an ingenious way of tracking the evolution of Adélie penguin colonies in Antarctica, without having to go there. They use the Segment Anything Model, a computer vision model designed by Meta. It enables them to analyse photos taken by tourists and scientists in this remote part of the world.
