A Confluence of Tech and Wildlife
In an era where Artificial Intelligence is redefining every creative industry, Anand Vikamshi—a photographer known for his patient and striking captures of the natural world—explores how AI can be a powerful ally in environmental preservation.
Vikamshi’s work often emphasizes that “saving the wild” is a collective duty, a message now amplified by the precision of AI-driven tools.
The book is co-authored by Dr. Girish Kulkarni, Dr. Poonam Shah, Dr. Sudhir Hasamnis, and Neha Phadke, bringing together perspectives from both the lens and the laboratory.
