In collaboration with the N50 Project, Geeks Without Frontiers, and Intelion, YKAN conducted initial trials to demonstrate that the FishFace system, which employs Artificial Intelligence (AI), can identify fish species caught with 99% accuracy. This software automatically captures images of fish, potentially revolutionizing fisheries research and management in Indonesia by providing real-time and more accurate data on fish stock status while assisting in formulating local fisheries regulations.
This AI-based initiative enhances local fisheries' sustainability and showcases AI's transformative potential in addressing complex environmental challenges and supporting community livelihoods. By leveraging this advanced technology, we pave the way for a future where digital tools can safeguard Earth's biodiversity and ensure the welfare of communities worldwide.
