Artificial Intelligence has been in the news a lot lately, and not always for the right reasons. However, one area where AI could make a real and valuable difference is in the world of recycling. AI robots can be programmed to quickly and accurately differentiate between different materials, and many recycling centers are already making use of the technology.
Introducing AI robotics into the process allows for more efficient waste sorting in recycling centers and helps to divert as many recyclable materials away from landfills as possible. It also allows waste management companies to operate longer hours or even stay open 24/7, dramatically increasing the amount of waste processed.
