Yes. we must know everything. Caterpillar pooping, butterfly flapping wings, leaves wiggling - instrument everything, collect tons of numbers and call it "Big data", and ask AI to munch on the data and and ask it to post a mile long blog article.
You just used all major areas of tech - Sensor feeds, Big Data processing, Cloud and AI agents. Only blockchain & quantum computing is missing. What a project.
Whats wrong with sensors and data analysis? Sounds like a good small scale project to start with the subject. Do you think sensors and data are only used for "evil megatech"?
