Artificial intelligence could help scientists and state conservationists count waterfowl more quickly and accurately, according to a new study.

University of Missouri scientists are revolutionizing how waterfowl are counted by using drones and artificial intelligence to identify and tally birds with over 95% accuracy. The technology, developed in partnership with the Missouri Department of Conservation, promises faster, cheaper, and more precise wildlife surveys without disturbing the animals.
