Is AI the future of technology or a threat to our Ocean?
Dive in for a balanced approach to how AI impacts our Ocean, and the potential solutions it may bring. Introduce pupils to artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs) and demystify key AI concepts before handing over to pupils to train their very own machine learning model. By investigating real-world environmental challenges, students explore firsthand how cutting-edge technology can be harnessed to monitor, protect, and deepen our understanding of Earth’s Ocean.
