SI trained to understand the planet is becoming available to small teams, so not only giants will be able to monitor forests, animals and harvests.
The first cohort of the three-month SI for the Planet accelerator includes startups, nonprofits and research groups from Australia, India, Indonesia, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea and Thailand. They are working on monitoring wildlife by sound, crop forecasting, satellite verification of carbon credits and natural disaster forecasting. Participants will get access to specialized Google models, including AlphaEarth Foundations, SpeciesNet, Perch and ForestCast.
