AI System Detects Birds to Reduce Wind Turbine Fatalities
• Company develops AI system called IdentiFlight to prevent wind turbines from killing birds
• System uses optical sensors and AI to identify protected birds up to 1 km away
• Calculates bird trajectories to determine if turbines need to be shut down
• Tested over 18 months, achieved 99% detection accuracy and 85% potential reduction in fatalities
• Technology seen as crucial to manage risks as more wind farms are installed
