Description: Plankton are basically responsible for all life on earth, and they’re in decline. IBM researchers are building small autonomous AI microscopes that can be placed in bodies of water to use plankton as an environmental sensor network. In 5 years these microscopes, networked in the cloud and deployed around the world, will continually monitor the condition of the natural resource most critical to our survival: water. Immerse yourself in this 360 experience to see under the microscope of IBM researchers who are working to tackle this problem. Because what's good for plankton is good for all of us.
