China is utilizing artificial intelligence to monitor fish populations in the Zangmu Hydropower Station, located on Tibet’s largest river. The new system employs “fish facial recognition” technology to identify species native to the Tibet autonomous region, replacing previous manual counting methods. This AI-driven approach enables 24/7 tracking of fish as they navigate a fishway constructed on the 116-meter-tall dam. The technology significantly reduces labor costs and provides continuous data on fish migration patterns. The initiative, reported by Global Times, aims to improve understanding and conservation efforts for these unique species. This represents an innovative application of AI in ecological monitoring and environmental protection.
