Original post

Can AI save San Francisco’s whales? Climate change is pushing starving gray whales into the San Francisco Bay in unusual numbers, where ship strikes killed at least 40% of the 21 whales found dead last year. ❤️🐳https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2026/05/20/climate-marine-heat-wave-whale-boats-ai/57615e14-5406-11f1-9c40-7a0a12d9e745_story.html

AI for the good of the Whales! ❤️🐳@McCauley_Lab & team are deploying a network of AI-powered cameras in the SF Bay to stop ships from colliding with migrating gray whales. With 7 whales already lost this year (after 21 in 2025), this tech is a literal lifesaver. Brilliant work, Doug! ❤️ https://www.wsj.com/us-news/san-franciscos-latest-traffic-headache-huge-hungry-whales-174ae49b
