A Montreal company—Whale Seeker’s Cetus—has been recognized again for its AI-powered system that monitors whales and other marine mammal populations from space.
UNESCO’s International Research Centre on Artificial Intelligence has placed it among top-100 projects— which includes AI programs in education, finance, agriculture and climate—describing it as “outstanding”.
It says that Cetus revolutionizes whale conservation with satellite-based detection technology, by harnessing AI and high-resolution satellite imagery—accurately detecting and classifying whales for global monitoring.
