Oh, look! Another tech 'visionary' gushing over AI as if it's the second coming of sliced bread. 🙄 Apparently, if you're not worshipping the AI overlords, you're just a dinosaur waiting for extinction. 🦖🚂 Better hop on that bandwagon, folks, before it leaves you coding in the stone age! 🧱💻

A lack of crucial data prevents assessment of @IUCN #ExtinctionRisk for most species of #MarineFish. @NiLoiseau @NicolasMouquet &co use #MachineLearning to infer a 12.8% extinction risk for marine fish species, surpassing existing estimates. #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/4dXJh9O

Why can’t anyone agree on how dangerous AI will be? https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2024/3/13/24093357/ai-risk-extinction-forecasters-tetlock

Do you care about undescribed biodiversity?

Feel like more and more new plant species are already threatened with extinction?

Need a reminder of why taxonomy continues to play a key role in science?

Check out our new paper, where we show that a whopping 75% of plants described after 2020 are threatened 🌿

If you're describing new species, assume they're threatened and, if poss, assess them straight away!
