AI and digitization accelerate efforts to save endangered plant and fungal species

Artificial intelligence is emerging as a crucial tool in the fight to identify and conserve plant and fungal species facing extinction. Advanced AI models can now identify plant species with remarkable accuracy, sometimes surpassing human specialists, which is vital for spotting vulnerable or new species. The digitization of millions of plant and fungal specimens, accelerated by AI, is unlocking vast amounts of data, providing new insights into biodiversity and the impacts of climate change, such as shifts in flowering times.
