The article focuses on an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm developed by Iadine Chadès, from CSIRO's Conservation Decisions team, to provide an adaptive solution to fox control. It mentions that the algorithm could aid the decision-making process by assessing how different native species respond to the reduced density of foxes, so that it's possible to monitor the progress of pest control and adaptation.
