The core idea: marine scientists don’t need to become computer scientists. They need a T-shaped profile, deep in their own field, fluent enough in AI to use it, understand it, question it. This is what students must be trained for: designing sound AI-assisted projects rather than trusting the output

Great work from our BioBoost+ partners @azti.bsky.social This case study is a great example of where marine monitoring is heading: combining underwater imagery, AI tools, and expert ecological knowledge to make biodiversity assessments faster and more scalable. #MarineEcology

Can AI help us monitor life on the seafloor? In this BioBoost+ case study, the AZTI team tested computer vision to detect and count benthic taxa from ROV videos in the south-eastern Bay of Biscay. #BioBoostPlus #AZTI @azti.bsky.social
