KEEPING WATCH: Using AI to Assist Natural History Television Production, Robert Dawes (BBC R&D)

PARTNERSHIP FOR CONSERVATION: AI and Humans Combatting Extinction Together, Prof Tanya Berger-Wolf (Ohio-State University)
We are losing the planet's biodiversity at an unprecedented rate and in many cases, we do not even have the basic numbers. Photographs, taken by field scientists, tourists, citizen scientists, automated cameras, incidental photographers, and collected from social media are the most abundant source of data on wildlife today. To utilise this imagery for good and successfully address the biodiversity crisis and other societal challenges, we need the complementary capabilities of both humans and machines, in partnership.
