Drone Lifeguards

Marine biologist Douglas McCauley at University of California, Santa Barbara, employs drones and artificial intelligence to track great whites along Southern California coasts. The data alerts beachgoers, surf camps, and lifeguards about shark activity, and informs marine biologists who study great white shark populations. Guest: Douglas McCauley, Marine Science Professor and Director of the Benioff Ocean Initiative at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He partners with AI researchers at Salesforce and computer scientists at San Diego State University.
