"AI Tool Harnesses 10 Million Biology Images for Research"

Researchers have created the largest-ever dataset of biological images, containing over 10 million images of plants, animals, and fungi, and developed a new vision-based artificial intelligence tool called BioCLIP to learn from it. The tool, which outperformed existing models, can classify images and discern species across the tree of life, making it useful for a wide range of biological studies. The AI model's ability to learn fine-tuned representations of images and its potential for unraveling biological mysteries make it a valuable tool for biologists.
