  We describe new opportunities afforded by bring A.I to the field of
ethnobotany. In particular we describe a novel approach to ethnobotany
documentation that harnesses machine learning opportunities, specifically for
the documentation of traditional ecological knowledge with mobile phones in
emerging economies. Using a case study on the island of Bali as a departure
point, the project maps out machine learning approaches to documentation and
responds to technology and capital gradients between research contexts in the
global north and south in an attempt to capture knowledge that might otherwise
not be represented.
