The session was presented on Tuesday, 14 March, with the following description:
Sustainable management of the world’s seafood supply chain requires data, and lots of it. Comprehensive information on catch, vessels, and trade is vital to ensure that science and policies are well-informed and effective. But with tens of thousands of boats fishing in tens of millions of square miles of ocean, innovative technology is now needed to collect and analyze all that data. That is where artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) come in.
AI is everywhere, but for most people, their knowledge about artificial intelligence is usually limited to what they see on TV and in movies. This session will focus on introducing attendees to AI and ML by explaining what these technologies are, where they are being used in the fisheries sector today, and their future potential.
A series of presentations will focus on organizations and companies that are using AI and ML to monitor fishing activity, track vessels, detect potential illegal activities, and identify risks in the supply chain. The session will also highlight companies that are developing new and exciting AI-based ways to increase fisheries transparency and accountability from fishing deck, dock, and dish.
The entire package of videos from Seafood Expo Global can also be purchased for USD 300 for non-members, and is free to SeafoodSource Premium members, through the Complete Digital Ticket: Seafood Expo Global 2023.
