  In the article “How Artificial Intelligence, Robots Enhance Forest Sustainability in Finland”, McQueen (2019) showcase d the Finnish Forest Centre’s implementation of advanced technologies in enhancing forest sustainability.    Finland is covered in forests to the tune of 75%, and data can be acquired using aerial mapping technology in conjunction with light detection and ranging technology. With the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI), forest management is being simplified, which further maximizes the trees' sequestration of carbon, while filling up jobs in forestry.   McQueen described how the Finns adopted environmental regulations to balance economic progress and forest preservation. The regulations prohibit practices like draining bogs and herbicide use. Under this legislation, landowners are encouraged to be active in the care of their property while the center provides recommendations.   One of the benefits of having an intelligence ass...

Soul of Communication

How do you see communication and critical thinking impacting your future role as a leader in the workplace? (150-200 words) In my opinion, communicative and critical thinking abilities are essential to my future success in the workplace as an emerging leader.

Effective communication is vital for building trust, aligning efforts in pursuit of goals, and bringing about positive change. When communication is lacking, important information can be misinterpreted, resulting in strained relationships and, ultimately, creating barriers that impede progress. Cr...

 The article “How Artificial Intelligence, Robots Enhance Forest Sustainability in Finland”, McQueen (2019) reported about The Finnish Forest Centre’s implementation of advanced technologies to enhance forest sustainability.  As almost 75 percent of Finland is covered by forests, data can be collected using aerial and lidar imagery technologies. Robots will then use the analysed data from a geographic information system. With the advent of robots and automation, forest management can be simplified, thus maximizing trees' sequestration of carbon, while filling up jobs in forestry. Finns adopted environmental regulations to balance economic growth and forest preservation. The regulations prohibit practices like draining bogs and herbicide use. Under this legislation, landowners are encouraged to be active in the care of their property while the center provides recommendations. Additionally, the center plans to provide forest owners with an online marketplace to connect with fore...
