The theme of Europe’s biggest tech event was artificial intelligence, with startups showcasing machines that can think and learn, and even solve many of the world’s problems, such as deforestation. One of these startups at the summit was Woodchat, an artificial intelligence system that identifies types of wood to combat the use of illegal timber.

“WoodChat is an artificial intelligence system that identifies types of wood, and it’s all done via WhatsApp. Our technology is a Meta verified API. In Brazil, our recognition system is used to complete forestry documents. The process helps loggers fill it out so the wood goes through the federal system with authorized certification.”
