Accessible AI, Collaborative Action and Smarter Ocean Solutions: The Building Bridges Community of Practice

NOTE: This opportunity has expired or is an event which has already taken place.

Across Canada’s ocean sector, data is growing faster than teams can manage it. While Artificial Intelligence is being touted as a solution, it’s hard to know how to make use of it when you don’t have the time, resources, or confidence to apply it in ways that move your work forward.

Join econext and CIOOS Atlantic as we explore an exciting new way to keep up with the speed of AI without getting lost in the weeds – the Building Bridges Community of Practice.

This free community, built for ocean professionals, researchers, and innovators, provides members with the data tools they need to adopt AI confidently and effectively, breaking down technical barriers, advancing AI literacy, and fostering collaborative innovation.
