Leveraging Edge AI to Preserve the Cloud Forest

Inventec collaborates with the National Taiwan University Experimental Forest (NTU Experimental Forest) to preserve biodiversity in the cloud forest located in central Taiwan. On earth, only 1% of the global woodland consists of cloud forests, yet they are among the most biodiversity-rich ecosystems in the world.

In an effort to understand more about the formation and dissipation of cloud forests, Inventec has donated funds and provided edge AI computing devices along with video sensing technology and infrared devices. With these, researchers at NTU Experimental Forest are able to collect the necessary data. Inventec’s AI model on visual analysis, among the various technological deployments, can play a crucial role in predicting and explaining changes in cloud formation patterns.

As Sam Yeh, the chairman of Inventec, states, “Inventec is committed to protecting Taiwan's biodiversity. We believe that corporations should not only pursue profitability but also utilize their technological advancements to fulfill social responsibilities. Corporations should not only serve humanity but also protect the ecology and the overall environment, thus actively practicing sustainable values.”
