Coral AI | Hyper Epic
The Coral AI project is a collaboration between Hyper Epic, Branch Coral Foundation, and interdisciplinary artist Mark IJzerman. The aim is to use artificial intelligence, design and non-fiction storytelling to improve Branch Coral Foundation’s ‘adopt a coral’ donation model. The partners want to further fine-tune the existing large language model (LLM), a form of artificial intelligence that creates texts itself, using scientific knowledge and real-time data. The improved language model should ultimately be able to facilitate a ‘conversation’ between the donor and the coral. The prototype will be tested with Branch, and the workflow for Branch and donors will also be optimized. The end result is a low-threshold product that can be used by Branch and similar organizations. This project aims to attract potential donors, increase involvement in Branch’s work and create an understanding of coral habitats.
