Deepspatial CEO Dr Rahul Kushwah said being invited to speak at the conference and present to industry leaders marks a big milestone for Deepspatial.
"I can say we are becoming well-respected in AI and paving our way to becoming an emerging leader in the industry, which will not only build long-term value for our shareholders but also bring value to the AI community as we continue to innovate with our novel solutions," said Kushwah in a statement.
Samridhi Arora Kalra, chair of the AI4IA conference and a member of UNESCO-IFAP, said: “Artificial Intelligence methods may create a digital dashboard for the planet, allowing us to monitor, model, foresee and manage environmental systems on a global scale. Everything from monitoring deforestation, CO2 levels, sea levels, wildlife movement, illegal activity, and pollution, as well to predicting natural disasters better.”
Kalra said now is the time for the approach to start, as resources are becoming too thin on a global scale to achieve environmental gains and AI and data are empirically necessary to make these changes the planet’s needs.
“To achieve this, a global collaboration between research institutes, companies, industries, governments, and charities must start in the best interest of our planet and future quality of life. In a nutshell, AI applications can empower humanity in saving the planet and us,” Kalra said in a statement.
Deepspatial is an outcome-based artificial intelligence company, enabling organizations to enhance their decision-making capabilities by leveraging the power of data and AI.
