AI isn't just chatbots and agents. There are microphones in forests right now using machine learning to count chimpanzees, elephants, and rare birds — and that count is increasingly the basis for real money decisions about habitat conservation. Today we look at DeepForestSound, a region-specific acoustic detector for African tropical forests, and what it means when the detector layer becomes the measurement layer that markets depend on. Satellite remote sensing as the cross-domain parallel.
