At Hydrobiology, we are known for being at the cutting edge of Aquatic Science. The latest tool we’re testing? Workingmouse’s system of on site AI. With a truly global portfolio, and over 200 projects completed in the past two years; for more than 90 clients worldwide.. We are in an ideal position to explore the potential of this innovative technology!
1. Why Local AI Makes Sense for Us
Managing diverse projects from Australia through Asia to Mongolia and across to Brazil, called for a dynamic solution to handle the flood of environmental data we generate. Speedy and reliable reporting is a must – so is a system that can handle spotty internet access in remote locations.
2. Unleashing the Potential of AI
Full disclosure – we’re still at the evaluation stage, but here are three areas where the system could have a big impact:
- Real-Time Anomaly Detection: Imagine catching data glitches on the spot. Barking up the wrong tree would be a thing of the past!
- Automated Draft Reporting: Let the AI handle draft reporting. More time for our scientists to focus on complex analysis? Yes, please!
- On-Site Predictive Modelling: If the AI can provide instant predictions, we’ll be delivering proactive advice to clients, faster than ever before.
3. Testing the Waters
As Scientist Michael Faraday said, “Nothing is too wonderful to be true, if it be consistent with the laws of nature.” Same principle applies here. We’re taking rigorous steps to verify this system’s consistency and reliability, focusing on:
- Accuracy: How the AI’s insights line up against our usual methods.
- Security: Well, data security is non-negotiable, need we say more?
- Usability: The AI could be Einstein, but if it’s not user-friendly, it’s not going to fly with our field teams.
4. Looking Ahead
Dr. Helen O’Nions, Hydrobiology’s Lead Data Analyst, says: “The integration journey with Workingmouse’s AI has been both challenging and exciting. We’re inspired by the possibilities this technology holds, and eager to see how it could transform our services as we press forward.”
There’s ample potential for improved efficiency and data quality, but we’re taking a diligent, step-by-step approach. At Hydrobiology, we’re all about bridging rigorous science with practical solutions – and that’s just how we’re approaching our AI transformation journey.
