One of the world’s biggest and most luxurious cruise liners has dropped anchor in Batemans Bay, bringing with it plenty of wealthy passengers.
But some local environmentalists fear the ship, The World, could damage the fragile ecosystem of Batemans Marine Park.
The World boasts ”privileged access to the best in travel” and charges accordingly. The cost of one of its 165 apartments ranges from $1300 to $4750 a night. The 200-metre ship, registered in the Bahamas, arrived in Eden on Sunday before sailing to Batemans Bay on Monday. It is due in Jervis Bay, which is also a delicate marine park, tomorrow.
Australian researchers launch AI koala facial recognition
Researchers are installing facial recognition technology at koala crossing locations to better monitor koala behavior and prevent vehicle fatalities. They hope AI can help save the marsupial from extinction.
The researchers hope AI will be able to differentiate between individual koalas using road crossings, based on their faces and their movements
Artificial intelligence (AI) researchers in Australia are experimenting with facial recognition technology to monitor koalas as part of conservation efforts.
The team from Griffith University in the northeast state of Queensland is attempting to use AI to recognize the marsupials when they use wildlife crossings, designed to offer the animals a safe route either over or under public roads.
