Quick Summary
- AI-controlled machines equipped with chilli pepper spray (capsaicin) are being proposed to deter tibetan brown bears from human-inhabited areas without causing them physical harm.
- Confrontations between these bears and humans on the Tibetan Plateau are increasing, possibly due to climate change disrupting the animals’ traditional habitats.
- escalating incidents have involved bears killing livestock, damaging property, and approaching built-up regions like homes or rubbish dumps.
- Concerns arise that bears may adapt by avoiding these deterrent machines and shifting their approach toward other exposed areas instead.
