Microsoft is lending its artificial intelligence systems to researchers and organizations in order to help them solve the major environmental issues we face today. Leaders of the projects focusing on water, agriculture, biodiversity and climate change can apply for access to Microsoft’s cloud and AI computing resources. Microsoft’s AI smarts are already being used in a number of sustainability projects, including one that works to update and create far more detailed land cover maps to aid conservation. Another project is using drones to collect mosquitoes and analyzes the biological material collected by them to track potential emerging infectious diseases.
