AI and drones can help improve early warning systems for Vibrio bacteria in the Baltic Sea

The presence of the marine bacterium Vibrio vulnificus, which is potentially dangerous to humans, can now be predicted up to five weeks in advance in the Baltic Sea using artificial intelligence (AI). A research team led by the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemünde (IOW) has reached this conclusion by combining high-resolution environmental, satellite, and microbiome data in an AI-based analysis.
