Leveraging AI in Environmental Sciences Workshop

The workshop will build on the success of the 1^st Workshop on Leveraging AI. This workshop will help gather scientists, program managers, and leaders from public, academic and private sectors. It will enable experts involved in the development and adaptation of AI tools and applications in a number of fields to meet and exchange experiences.

It is important to note that there are fields with similar fundamental issues as the field of environmental science. These fundamental issues include image and signal processing, pattern recognition, morphing, projection mapping, data mining, clustering, etc. This will facilitate the cross-fertilization of knowledge in different communities within NOAA and outside of NOAA to benefit in environmental science.

This gathering will allow participants to exchange ideas, share lessons learned, and to discuss both the future potential and limitations of AI. It will also help to establish collaborations for using AI tools for many purposes, including:

• Reviewing AI-enabling technology and tools
• Furthering scientific objectives of better utilization of Earth observation
• Sharing ideas to improve environmental science
• Improving efficiency of environmental data processing and exploitation for cost effectiveness
• Identifying innovative ways to use satellite data and other environmental data to create new products and services and generate new markets
• Expanding commercial markets of high-level environment-related products and services to benefit society and the economy
