Under the patronage of the Dean of the College of Science for Women, Professor Dr. Sameera Naji Khdim, the Continuing Education Unit, in collaboration with the Department of Biology, organized a scientific workshop entitled “Artificial Intelligence in Animal Tracking and Behavioral Studies.” The workshop was presented by Ms. Tara Aso Taher and Ms. Ruwaida Abdullah Abdul Hussein.
The workshop highlighted the role of modern artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in tracking animals within their natural habitats through the use of intelligent tracking systems and big data analytics to accurately understand patterns of animal movement and behavior. It also examined the application of advanced algorithms and machine learning techniques in monitoring living organisms, thereby supporting environmental research and contributing to the conservation of biodiversity.
Furthermore, the workshop demonstrated the importance of these AI-driven applications in providing reliable scientific data that enable researchers to make well-informed decisions regarding the conservation of endangered species. It also emphasized their role in enhancing the efficiency of field research while reducing the time and effort required for conventional monitoring methods.
The workshop concluded by emphasizing the importance of developing the skills of students and researchers in applying artificial intelligence to environmental studies, recognizing its significant role in advancing scientific research and improving the quality and rigor of scientific investigations.
