Hello Artificialinteligence subreddit, coming on here to get more angles on the use of AI for conservation work. A little bit of context, i am a volunteer within a larger group surveying for an endangered species. We are monitoring for presence, which means we just need to confirm that the target is there, and are doing so with tracks. However, the method to obtain them is pretty simple and harmless but yields datasets, which are often difficult to read, like photographs etc. I recently pitched creating a positive ID archive and using that to narrow down which sets are potentially positive to move onto experts, however, have met some resistance by experts, which are generally short at hand and require us to send them images which they get back to us when they are able to… what do you think/ is this introducing issues by trying to create a way for various volunteer groups to use this data bank to run their own datasets across and use the same system// So far some conservationists see a positive use for AI, but i think the gatekeepers will be the older population that thinks its an all or nothing… submitted by /u/BlueOiseux
