KUALA LUMPUR, August 18 — Artificial intelligence is set to change orangutan conservation in Sabah.
Sabah however remains home to the world's biggest population of Bornean orangutans at 11,000 according to a WWF population study in 2019. Drones have been used as an alternative of late but requires long post-processing work to develop images. “On AI, just like our orangutan experts, computers must also carefully learn the features of orangutan nests. AI needs to learn in great detail nest features such as nest structure, materials, and the position of the nests on trees.”
This will allow scientists to be able to different characteristics of nests and how they change with weather patterns in order to understand orangutans' behaviour and relationship with their habitat.
