Digital Social Hour
Alan from Tryolabs - AI Is Not Magic: Here’s What Real Deployment Looks Like | DSH #1768

There's people involved and there's like complex systems.

Digital Social Hour

And you need to make AI fit in those complex systems and actually provide business value for them.

Digital Social Hour
Alan from Tryolabs - AI Is Not Magic: Here’s What Real Deployment Looks Like | DSH #1768

Yeah, we actually have, depending on specific initiatives that we pursued, there's some that are pretty high profile.

Digital Social Hour
Alan from Tryolabs - AI Is Not Magic: Here’s What Real Deployment Looks Like | DSH #1768

Yeah, sorry.

There's initiatives that are pretty high profile.

Digital Social Hour
Alan from Tryolabs - AI Is Not Magic: Here’s What Real Deployment Looks Like | DSH #1768

So we've done some work with Unicef, for example, around...

the impact of heat waves on developing children.

Digital Social Hour

We've also done some other things that are super interesting.

Digital Social Hour

For example, a couple of years back, we did an initiative with UNICEF and we published a paper on this, which was how to use satellite imagery to detect schools.

Digital Social Hour

So the problem that the world has is that in most developing countries, the schools are not 100% mapped by the government.

Digital Social Hour
Alan from Tryolabs - AI Is Not Magic: Here’s What Real Deployment Looks Like | DSH #1768

So there's countries in which they don't know more than 50% of the schools where they're at.

Digital Social Hour
Alan from Tryolabs - AI Is Not Magic: Here’s What Real Deployment Looks Like | DSH #1768

That's crazy.

Digital Social Hour
Alan from Tryolabs - AI Is Not Magic: Here’s What Real Deployment Looks Like | DSH #1768

So UNICEF has this initiative called Giga, and their intention is to find these schools and go and connect them to the internet so that these children can have the best education possible.

Digital Social Hour

And what we were doing is taking satellite imagery and turning custom computer vision models to actually understand what buildings are actually likely to be schools and map them.

Digital Social Hour
Alan from Tryolabs - AI Is Not Magic: Here’s What Real Deployment Looks Like | DSH #1768

Yeah.

We're also doing some interesting work with an organization called the Nature Conservancy around the sustainable fishing practice.

Digital Social Hour
Alan from Tryolabs - AI Is Not Magic: Here’s What Real Deployment Looks Like | DSH #1768

So I think it's like close to 38% of all the fishing stocks in the world are overfished.

Digital Social Hour
Alan from Tryolabs - AI Is Not Magic: Here’s What Real Deployment Looks Like | DSH #1768

And that is a big problem for conservation of ecosystems.

Digital Social Hour
Alan from Tryolabs - AI Is Not Magic: Here’s What Real Deployment Looks Like | DSH #1768

And there's also like push from governments in the regulation of electronic monitoring and also push from some retailers like Walmart, for example.

Digital Social Hour

They announced that every fish that will be in the shelves in the next year or two will have to be fished sustainably.
