Google Deepmind creates a global map of forests with satellite data and AI

Google DeepMind and the World Resources Institute released ForTy, a global map that uses satellite data and AI to classify forests and other land into six categories, including primary forest, plantations, and tree crops. The map could help track deforestation under EU rules, but it identifies only about half of planted forests and tree-crop areas and 60% of plantations.
