Did you use any AI tool for this activity? If yes, which ones and how?
Yes, I used Google Lens as an AI tool for identifying plants and insects. Google Lens uses image recognition technology and machine learning to analyse photographs. I pointed my smartphone camera at unknown plants or insects, and Google Lens provided information about their scientific names, characteristics, and other details. This helped me fill in missing information in my biodiversity register, especially for organisms I could not identify through other sources.
Explanation
The chapter in Activity 6 describes how to use Google Lens for identifying unknown plants, crops, weeds, and pests. Google Lens uses machine learning and OCR to analyse images and provide information about objects. Students can use it to identify scientific names, diseases, and other useful information about plants and insects by pointing the camera at them or using existing photographs.
