Elephant alert! AI warning systems aim to avoid deadly clashes

India is home to roughly 60 % of the world’s wild Asian elephants, with most of their habitat lying outside protected zones, leading to frequent human‑elephant encounters. A new artificial‑intelligence warning system is being piloted to forecast elephant movements and issue early alerts, aiming to cut the deadly clashes that have already resulted in about 3 000 human deaths. The initiative leverages sensor data and machine‑learning models to enhance safety for both local communities and the animals.
