Background
PlantNet, Seek, and iNaturalist are mobile applications that allow users to upload photographs of plants and receive automated suggestions for species identification. These tools leverage advances in artificial intelligence and computer vision to analyze leaf images and suggest potential matches from a vast database of plant species.
AI-based plant identification relies on deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks (CNNs), which are trained on large datasets comprising labeled images of leaves. These models process images by extracting key morphological features such as leaf shape, venation patterns, margin structure, texture, and sometimes even color. Through training on thousands of annotated examples, the networks learn to map visual patterns to specific plant species. This capability enables rapid classification even for users with limited botanical knowledge.
Several studies have evaluated the accuracy of AI-driven plant identification systems. Research from PlantVillage, reported in May 2026, indicates that such systems can achieve classification accuracy exceeding 90% when trained on diverse and well-curated datasets. Accuracy may vary depending on image quality, species similarity, and the comprehensiveness of the training data. In some cases, these tools are used to support citizen science initiatives, agricultural monitoring, and ecological research.
However, challenges remain, including the need for extensive labeled datasets, handling of closely related species, and robustness to variations in lighting, angle, and background noise. Despite these limitations, AI-powered plant identification continues to improve and is increasingly integrated into both scientific and public platforms.

L'IA può identificare le specie vegetali da fotografie di foglie?
La giuria ha trovato una risposta chiaramente affermativa.
La giuria ha ritenuto le capacità di identificazione delle foglie dell'IA più che sufficienti, notando come modelli ben addestrati come LeafSnap e PlantNet siano già in grado di eguagliare i botanici esperti in questo compito. Hanno ritenuto non necessario attendere una perfezione teorica quando le prestazioni nel mondo reale parlavano chiaro. La sentenza del tribunale: “Dai pixel ai petali, la risposta è chiara—SÌ.”
The jury found the AI’s leaf-identification skills more than sufficient, noting how well-trained models such as LeafSnap and PlantNet already match expert botanists at the task. They felt no need to hold out for theoretical perfection when real-world performance spoke loudly enough. The bench’s ruling: “From pixels to petals, the answer is clear—YES.”
But the data is real.
