The problem? Bears. The answer? AI, drones and robot wolves

CNN Portugal1 September 2026 at 09:46

Japan faces a serious situation related to the proliferation of bears, classified as a "serious threat to public safety and peace" in the country. Last year alone, 50,000 bear sightings were recorded in Japanese territory.

Faced with this problem, various innovative technological solutions are being developed and implemented. Among the measures, the use of artificial intelligence, drones, and even robot wolves to keep animals away from urban and agricultural areas stands out.

This situation reflects a growing phenomenon in several regions of Japan, where the increase in sightings has put at risk both the local population and the region's economic activities.

Study shows that AI is changing the way work is designed

A study analyzes how artificial intelligence is transforming work design, identifying four possible scenarios for the next decade. The authors conclude that AI should significantly alter tasks and professional functions, but without causing a generalized employment collapse, suggesting a reconfiguration of the labor market rather than massive worker replacement.
