Artificial intelligence has long since solved complex tasks and made our everyday lives easier. But do intelligent computer programmes also provide new solutions for environmental and climate protection? Here we set out to find answers to these questions.
Until now, the development of AI-based technologies for recognising text and speech has been in the hands of large technology companies. BLOOM aims to make this more transparent.
Could specially engineered enzymes soon be used to break down our mountains of plastic waste?
The EIBA project is developing an AI that identifies end-of-life parts to help reuse products instead of merely recycling them.
The ability for machine learning algorithms to analyse huge amounts of information are making them indispensable tools for conservation research.

The manufacturer of graphics cards wants to use its know-how to recreate the Earth in a digital simulation on a unprecedented one metre scale.
Trees are essential to our environment, but they're also a much needed building material. A German team is looking to use AI and data to create more sustainable forestry.
While some manufacturers are going big, others are looking to small, self-sustaining microfactories as a more sustainable way to build things.
Citizen science usually requires an active participant to get - and stay - involved. Now researchers have been experimenting with a passive approach that deputises photographers into conservation and nature research, without them having to do anything.
