An initiative supported by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE), TAIAO is committed to promoting and facilitating the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and data science in New Zealand's environmental sector.
Recognising that good data is essential to research, understand, and set policy for effective management of our natural environment, the team at TAIAO are working to develop new machine learning methods that are tailored to process environmental data gathered from our New Zealand context.
TAIAO uses AI models to analyse vast amounts of historical and real-time data, and identify patterns to predict future trends, such as extreme weather events. Through this mahi, we aim to break barriers by enhancing industry capability, and pioneer new machine learning methods to process vast amounts of data in real-time to meet today's pressing demands.
