How widely is artificial intelligence actually used in wildlife monitoring?
New study, “More Tools Than Users: A Scoping Review of Image-Processing Automation in Mammal Camera Trapping”, published in Mammal Review, explores the growing role of AI in camera-trap research.
One surprising finding: despite rapid advances in AI tools, only 9% of surveyed researchers reported using AI in their applied camera-trapping studies.
The study highlights the gap between technological development and practical application, and identifies opportunities for improving wildlife monitoring through interdisciplinary collaboration.
