Welcome to the fourth Nature Interpretation Lab Webinar, this time on the topic of  “The landscape of automated species identification apps”. 

In this fourth workshop and webinar we will have Minh-Xuan Truong, an interdisciplinary researcher working at the Department of Ecology, SLU.

Based on a recently published scientific article: Exploring the landscape of automated species identification apps: Development, promise, and user appraisal, Minh-Xuan will present his study on the overall landscape of automated species identification apps, what producers promise, what users say, and where both biodiversity and personal data go.

We will have discussions after the presentation about what AI-based technology such as automated species identification tools means for the practices of nature interpreters, what challenges we may have and how we can meaningfully engage with it.

The webinar is held in English.
