|
| Assistant Professor Sara Beery discusses the benefits of using AI tools in ecological research and education. "There's an increasing need to build strong machine-learning skills directly in the ecological community," says Beery. She adds that students studying ecology "don't need to be AI researchers. But they do need access to the skills to apply these techniques to their research problems." |
