A call for conservationists to guide the future of foundational AI for conservation
Workshop title: How might foundational AI be applied to forecast ecosystem resilience?
Venue: Manatee Room, East Tower (1.41), David Attenborough Building
Date: 27th/28th November
Express interest here:
In this workshop, conservation practitioners, technologists and researchers will imagine how we might use emerging foundational AI techniques to improve nature conservation and work towards ecosystem integrity and resilience. If you work in conservation, and your work includes biodiversity datasets, ecosystem integrity, effectiveness of interventions, or anything related to AI models, we’d love you to join us.
The workshop is fully funded by ARIA (Advanced Research + Invention Agency), including an evening working dinner. We’re asking for two days of your time, but if you can spare only one day that’s fine too. We’re looking for expressions of interest at this stage, aiming to get back to everyone by the 6th November. Depending on the level of interest, we may have to be selective, but we hope to accommodate everyone keen to be involved.
If you'd like to attend this ARIA workshop, please complete the form at the link above by the 3rd November. For any queries, please contact Dr Arman Pili (ap2571@cam.ac.uk).
On behalf of the “Foundational AI to forecast ecosystem resilience” organizing team: Prof. Lynn Dicks, Dr. Joe Millard, Dr. Katherine Berthon, Dr. Arman Pili, Prof. Rob Fletcher, Prof. Anil Madhavapeddy, Prof. Srinivasan Keshav, and Prof. David Coomes.
Please note that the exact timing has yet to be announced.
