Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are fundamentally transforming methodologies in
the life sciences and environmental surveillance. These technologies enable the analysis of complex
biological systems and the monitoring of ecological changes with unprecedented precision and scale.
This review examines the deployment of AI and ML in key areas, including genomic sequence
interpretation and protein structure prediction in bioscience, as well as real-time air quality assessment
and wildlife population monitoring in environmental science. Sophisticated computational
architectures, such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs),
transformers, and ensemble methods, are employed to process vast, heterogeneous, and complex
datasets. Comparative analyses demonstrate significant outcomes, including over 95% accuracy in
protein structure prediction and enhanced precision in pollution modelling. However, persistent
challenges include issues of data equity, inherent algorithmic biases, and substantial computational
resource requirements. In conclusion, AI and ML are driving more robust scientific discovery in biology
and enabling more intelligent planetary stewardship, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration to
connect cellular-level mechanisms with global ecosystem health.
