Generative AI threatens citizen science image identification

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Generative AI poses a threat to citizen science platforms by potentially altering images to the point where crucial identifying features are lost. This image enhancement can introduce artifacts that obscure species-specific marks, leading to misidentification of organisms. Platforms need to implement mitigation strategies to address this issue. AI
