Can AI protect sea eagles from wind turbines?

Original: Can # AI protect sea eagles from turbines? Perhaps, but slapping tech on badly chosen sites and weak environmental impac

A writer examines whether AI can help protect sea eagles from being killed by wind turbines. The argument: smart detection technology may help, but it cannot compensate for poorly chosen turbine sites and weak environmental impact assessments. The real problem, the piece argues, is a broken spatial planning process for siting wind farms, and technology alone will not fix it.

Why now: Debate over balancing renewable energy expansion with wildlife protection is active, and AI tools for reducing turbine bird strikes are a timely topic.
