Poachers typically hunt at night, which is why drone-mounted infrared cameras are being used to spot them. The problem is, since both the Poachers and the animals emit heat, it can be difficult to tell which is which in the videos. Scientists from the University of Southern California are making the job easier, using artificial intelligence.
