Using AI and other digital tools for pest detection and diagnostics: February 19, 2025
Digital identification tools are advancing beyond traditional methods like dichotomous keys and photo reference guides. In this seminar, we will demonstrate the latest developments in creating user-friendly identification keys and integrating AI into this space, including:
- creating both dichotomous and random-access keys
- highlight successful quarantine-focused tools, and discuss the ease of developing AI tools, and
- discussing the ease of developing AI tools for pest identification.
These digital and AI technologies are making taxonomy expertise more accessible, transforming it into a daily tool for diagnostic labs, inspection officers, academia, and beyond.
Join us to explore how these advancements in digital tools and AI are reshaping pest identification and taxonomy expertise!
