It “lasts more than three times as long” as lithium-ion, according to EnerVenue CEO Jorg Heinemann.

With the advent of space tourism for the world’s wealthiest and a looming global recession, there has been a predictable increase in arguments against public spending on space technologies.

However, those calling to halt space operations often ignore the immense benefits space technologies bring us here on Earth. Obvious examples come in the form of GPS and the many satellites used to investigate the effects of climate change.

New algorithm-backed tool offers accurate tracking for deforestation crisis

Posted by in categories: information science, innovation

Approximately 27 football fields’ worth of forests are lost every minute around the globe. That’s a massive annual loss of 15 billion trees.

Scientists have unveiled an innovative and comprehensive strategy to effectively detect and track large-scale forest disturbances, according to a new study published in the Journal of Remo.

Approximately 27 football fields’ worth of forests are lost every minute around the globe, resulting in a massive annual loss of 15 billion trees, according to the WWF. Given this concerning context, the new forest monitoring approach could be a valuable tool for effectively monitoring and managing forests as they undergo changes over time.

Artificial Intelligence In E-Commerce Can Also Benefit Small Businesses

Posted by in categories: business, robotics/AI

• Explore the specific opportunities that AI offers your industry. This will help you weigh up the potential benefits and how you can leverage them to your advantage. Many AI solutions to specific needs are already available, simplifying and speeding up their implementation.

• Start with small projects that allow you to try out technologies and evaluate their effectiveness. For instance, supervised AI only serves as an assistant and does not independently carry out a specific function. ChatGPT can be used to describe a work-related problem, allowing you to see what AI advises. Describe a decision that you’re about to make and ask what you could improve or add, or ask them to generate an answer to a question from a question, which will give your great perspective. ChatGPT and similar solutions can help small businesses in their everyday operations without major investments.

AI integration in e-commerce holds immense potential for small businesses to streamline operations, personalize customer experiences and gain a competitive edge. By starting with small projects and gradually incorporating AI, SMEs can unlock new opportunities and drive their businesses toward greater success.
