“…Nevertheless, we believe that these relations between artificial knowledge, digital media, sensing infrastructure, geographic locations and diverse peoples, offer important challenges to our future understanding of forests and of science in this era of climate crisis. At a time of growing public concern about the consequences that AI technologies may have for education, public discourse and the creative professions in the West, African thinkers suggest that ecological conservation should itself be considered as another fundamental element of AI ethics (Nandutu, Atemkeng and Okouma 2023). We should also be alert to the fact that some Western "ethical" fears for AI, such as the pseudo-Christian eschatology of a messianic Singularity (Bostrom 2014;Davis 2015), may themselves be considerably less rational than the science of African forests (Wiredu 1976(Wiredu /1997.…”

We contribute to the Science in the Forest, Science in the Past series by investigating the specific practices of “data science”, a set of contemporary methods associated with large-scale data processing infrastructure that shares many characteristics with artificial intelligence technologies. We offer a critical history of data science in relation to the engagement of Western publics with environmental policy through “citizen science”, and contrast those developments with the authors’ different experiences and perspectives of applying aspects of data science and citizen science in collaboration with local communities in South America and Africa.
