During more than 17,000 hours of recorded footage, the cameras detected no bird collisions with solar panels. ^[1] Scientists and researchers at Argonne National Laboratory developed an artificial intelligence-powered camera system to continuously monitor birds around solar panels. ^[2] The U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory launched the AI Roadshow, a traveling science outreach campaign that brings researchers to museums, libraries, and community centers in the Chicago region. ^[3] Researchers are now expanding the system to seven solar facilities across California, Georgia, Massachusetts, Michigan, Texas, Virginia, and Wyoming. ^[4] The AI system was trained to distinguish birds from insects, plants, shadows, and other moving objects, classifying behaviors such as flying over panels, perching, and possible collisions. ^[5] Argonne researchers Matthew Tuftedal and Rory Butler spoke at an event titled 'These Are the Droids We're Looking For: Robotics, Artificial Intelligence and the Race to Build C-3PO for Science' held at the Gaylord Building in Lockport, Illinois. ^[6] Argonne scientist Sarah Owens stated that she is fascinated by how quickly children grasp AI concepts during her presentation on how AI enhances research into soil ecosystems at the Shorewood-Troy Public Library. ^[7] Sharon Byerly, head of technology at the Indian Prairie Public Library, stated that the AI Roadshow programming offered a unique perspective on AI and removed negative connotations, relating well to the library's maker space initiatives. ^[8]
