Do not trust blindly an Artificial Intelligence-based system for identification of insect species
Do not trust blindly an Artificial Intelligence-based system for identification of insect species Govind Gujar AGRIBIOSYS, New Delhi agribiosys@gmail.com The artificial intelligence (AI)-based identification is being used for insect pest identity under field condition so that the data are used for forecasting and decision making in respect of crop protection tactics. This provides for promptness and ease of operation unlike conventional method. However, reliability of the AI will depend upon the database of insect images. Further, most databases are based upon adult stages and hence, this system heavily rely more often on a stage which causes less or little damage to the crop. Our objective was to test one such AI wherein insect images are uploaded and analysed by the algorithm software that identify these images in respect of names-common as well as scientific name on the basis of similarity with the image(s) of the insect specimen in the database.
