Summary:
- The University of Tokyo has released an AI-powered bear encounter prediction map for Japan. This map shows the likelihood of encountering bears in different regions of the country.
- The map uses data on bear sightings, habitat, and other factors to estimate the risk of bear encounters. It aims to help people in Japan be more aware of bear activity and take precautions when traveling in areas with high bear populations.
- The AI-powered map is part of efforts to improve safety and coexistence between humans and bears in Japan, where bear sightings have been increasing in recent years due to factors like habitat loss and climate change.
