So they will conserve the whisker patterns since they're cubs.

And the idea here is these organizations have a data set of many photographers of lions taken through the years.

And whenever there's a new photo, we can actually use AI to match it to the existing database so they can see, oh, this lion was actually found in another reservoir hundreds of miles away, and now it's moved here.

So that gives them data to be able to protect those lands.
Digital Social Hour
Alan from Tryolabs - AI Is Not Magic: Here’s What Real Deployment Looks Like | DSH #1768
Yeah, and those are kind of the use cases of AI that AI for good of the world.

We've been in this space for 15 years, so way before AI was a thing that everybody was talking about.
Digital Social Hour
Alan from Tryolabs - AI Is Not Magic: Here’s What Real Deployment Looks Like | DSH #1768
In fact, AI was called machine learning back then.

So we started around 2009, 2010, initially serving clients in the Bay Area startup, San Francisco, which was the only place in the world where there were crazy enough founders to kind of use these technologies.

In general, it's like business outcomes, but it can also be some outcome that's good for the world or some other initiative that they're pursuing.

Digital Social Hour
Alan from Tryolabs - AI Is Not Magic: Here’s What Real Deployment Looks Like | DSH #1768
There's a lot of things that they need solved.
Digital Social Hour
Alan from Tryolabs - AI Is Not Magic: Here’s What Real Deployment Looks Like | DSH #1768
And the application of AI for these problems is something that's actually non-trivial.
Digital Social Hour
Alan from Tryolabs - AI Is Not Magic: Here’s What Real Deployment Looks Like | DSH #1768
And it's not just a technical aspect.
Digital Social Hour
Alan from Tryolabs - AI Is Not Magic: Here’s What Real Deployment Looks Like | DSH #1768
There's, of course, a big technical aspect to that.
Digital Social Hour
Alan from Tryolabs - AI Is Not Magic: Here’s What Real Deployment Looks Like | DSH #1768
But there's a lot of like processes, things that have been always done in a certain way.
