Quentin pointing about the use of the data, and not taking up citizen science Dara. CS not always focus on the most policy relevant data. There are challenges of privacy of people and what the data will used for.

Also demonstrated how more information about biodiversity can be extracted from existing observations, such as which plants an insect is associated with.

Quentin Groom, citizen scientists are doing work in order to achieve something - giving something back. Example from Montserrat bioblitz, used iNat as a data collection platform. Explaining licencing is difficult and you need to build trust regarding use of data. Bioblitz increases use of the app.

Changing nature is a collaboration between @mfnberlin.bsky.social and MNHN with different focus - anthropocene in Berlin and environment in Paris. There are challenges of challenges in data management and standardisation.

Alicia shares the history of mosaïc, created in 2020 with digital capabilities to develop and support participatory projects. For example SpiPoll, which allows monitoring of pollinators and supports showing the data that was collected, and improved process management.

Getting my copy of #theAICon at the end of #caps25. Talked about a version of it in the conference. How come scientists suspect data quality from #citizenScience but happily run into using data and results from #AI? It's the CS-AI paradox...
