This session focuses on the use of AI in fisheries science. We will discuss the potential of AI developments for the future of fisheries science.
We ponder such questions as:
- Can AI play a role in estimating the age of fish through analyses of otolith images?
- Is it feasible to generate habitat suitability models using AI?
- Can AI be used for predictions, such as changes in animal behaviour in response to disturbances or environmental change?
- Can we use AI to improve stock assessments or to help with fishing gear innovation?
Furthermore, as AI becomes more integrated in science, explainability of AI becomes more important. When do we need to understand the inner workings of AI and to what level? How do we ensure that AI-generated insights are interpretable and transparent?
We invite all researchers that have started to explore the potential of AI in fisheries science to contribute!
