Global Forum: Artificial Intelligence for a Digital Blue Planet

Artificial Intelligence for A Digital Blue Planet is a three-day global forum (28–30 June 2021), that will bring together data scientists, analysts and researchers from marineresearch institutions and universities around the world to share their knowledge, skills and innovative ideas while discussing ways AI could help promote the use of knowledge to improve the management of our aquaticecosystems

The objective of the forum

The forum will initiate an ambitious global collaboration and scope the development of an AI platform with the capacity to share the knowledge required to produce toolssuch as mobile apps intended to empower citizen science and stakeholder knowledge of aquatic species.

The vision of the platform is to act as a hub where a multidisciplinary teamcan gather training data from a broad range of stakeholders and develop species and scenario specific models with the capacity to implement real world solutions.

A hub for aquatic knowledge

The forum will explore important issues including how Artificial Intelligence can identify the images of thousands of aquatic species and be utilised to determine the size, numbersand stages of life.

Other topics will focus on how global participants can work together in a virtual environment and seek solutions that can be further developed and deployed.

The forum is organised by FAO in collaboration with

• Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR)
• Exeter Marine
• Griffith University
• National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
• World Wildlife Fund
• Vulcan
