How is AI Being Used in Biodiversity Efforts?
The WeDigBio board is pleased to announce a one-hour symposium, “How is AI Being Used in Biodiversity Efforts? on October 10 from 2-3pm Central Time (3-4pm Eastern Time). This session will include three different examples of how AI can be used in service of digitization and conservation efforts, and how its use is being monitored. As the presence of AI in all walks of life becomes more common, the use of AI (both the why and the how) is not always clear. In this session, three researchers will share how they use AI in their work, why it is useful for them, and the methods they have in place to ensure data quality.
