   Event lasts 1 hour



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.
