Summary
Artificial intelligence is transforming ecology and environmental management — and this webinar aims to demonstrate shows to harness its potential responsibly. Join us for this member only webinar to find out more.
Description
Artificial intelligence is increasingly being used across ecology and environmental management, from report preparation and evidence synthesis to species identification, data analysis and habitat classification. These technologies offer significant opportunities, but they also introduce risks relating to evidence quality, confidentiality, transparency, professional competence and over-reliance on automated outputs.
This webinar will introduce CIEEM’s new Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence in Ecology and Environmental Management: Good Practice Advice Note. It will explain the guidance’s core principles, including human oversight, professional accountability, evidence integrity, data responsibility, proportionality and maintaining professional capability.
