The Microsoft Planetary Computing using AI site was quite the cool find today. The site presents facts in 4 categories(bio diversity, climate change, agriculture, and water) in interactive infographic style, as a demonstration of the insights that can be gleamed using their AI service. Within each of these 4 environmental categories, there is a brief description of the task and issues and a moving clickable image collage that shows detailed bar graphs and statistics relating to whatever collage topic you choose.
FYI, IBM's Watson supercomputer also is capable of harnessing and producing insights into the agriculture of an area, using AI.
What is AI? A.I.(Artificial Intelligence) is the use of embedded decision logic within software that approximates the reasoning done by human beings.
How does this relate to art? Well, there's no direct relationship. I shared this information because the earth and its creatures are frequent subjects in my work, so my hope was that anyone interested in my work would also be interested in developments related to the natural world.
