In the Swiss National Park, researchers are using artificial intelligence to study the behaviour of wild animals. They want to find out what deer, foxes and other animals do when no one is looking. +Get the most important news from Switzerland in your inbox For the project called MammAlps, scientists from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) installed nine camera traps in the field, as the university announced on Monday. The cameras recorded a total of 43 hours of raw footage over several weeks. With the help of AI, individual animals were identified in the recordings and their behaviour analysed. + AI in Switzerland: what's new for 2025? To study animal behaviour, researchers have traditionally relied on direct observations or sensors attached to the animals. However, these methods can interfere with the behaviour of the animals being observed and therefore only provide limited insights. This is not the case with cameras. However, they generate huge amounts of ...
