That’s what they claim!

Artificial intelligence researchers have developed a mosquito early warning system that raises the alarm when the insects are near by detecting the whine of their wingbeats…“Hopefully this will save lives,” said the project’s Yunpeng Li, who works on machine learning at Oxford University. “If we can identify the species, we can tell people in areas where there is malaria that these mosquitoes are around and that they need to take care, to use bed nets and so on.”There are more than 3,000 species of mosquitoes in the world, but only about 50 of them, all belonging to the genus Anopheles, spread the malaria parasite at dangerous levels.
