AI revolutionises aquaculture with app that counts fish in real time – Technological innovation is revolutionising the fishing industry, and a case in point is the artificial intelligence (AI) app jointly developed by SoftBank and Aizip. This app, capable of counting fish in real time with up to 95 per cent accuracy, recently received an award invitation to CES 2025.
The combination of SoftBank’s graphical simulation technology with Aizip’s AI expertise led to the creation of an efficient and energy-efficient tool. The app allows aquaculture operators to use their smartphones to monitor fish populations, even in the absence of network connections, in the open sea.
In addition to counting fish, the app integrates an AI-based question-and-answer programme that can interpret and answer questions posed in natural language with 96% accuracy. This functionality improves user interaction with the system, making the app more intuitive and versatile.
The introduction of such technologies represents a significant step towards a more sustainable and efficient management of marine resources. The adoption of AI-based tools in aquaculture not only optimises daily operations, but also contributes to the conservation of marine ecosystems, reducing environmental impact and promoting more responsible practices.
In a global context where the demand for fish products is constantly growing, the implementation of innovative solutions such as this is crucial. They offer industry players advanced tools to monitor and manage resources more effectively, while ensuring the long-term sustainability of the fishing industry.
SoftBank and Aizip’s app will be officially unveiled at CES 2025 on 7 January in Las Vegas, providing an opportunity to learn more about the potential of this technology and its future impact on aquaculture.
