As artificial intelligence is applied in more and more settings, entomologists say it is boosting efficiency in insect science, as well—including in the curation and digitization of museum insect collections. While entomologists are putting AI into action, they say it still requires careful human oversight to expand discovery while preserving scientific rigor. A recent article in Annals of the Entomological Society of America explores several case studies of AI use in entomology. (Photo by Joe Rominiecki, ESA)
