University of Exeter researchers develop 99% accurate AI system, VespAI, to identify invasive Asian hornets.

Researchers at the University of Exeter have developed an AI system, known as VespAI, to detect and identify invasive Asian hornets. The automated system attracts hornets to a monitoring station, where an overhead camera captures standardised images. VespAI can identify the species with over 99% accuracy, enabling authorities to mount a rapid response to prevent further invasions.
