Module 06- Artificial Intelligence and Data Science in the Blue Economy

Overview

The course Artificial Intelligence and Data Science in the Blue Economy provides a comprehensive understanding and essential skills for the use and implementation of data-driven and AI-based solutions. The knowledge acquired is applicable to the analysis of complex problems; the development of intelligent systems in multidisciplinary environments; and the large-scale analysis of data from sensor networks, satellites, the internet, and other sources.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Data Science (DS) are driving a revolution across all sectors and in scientific research. Together, they enable the extraction and analysis of essential knowledge from vast amounts of data (Big Data), giving meaningful voice to information. It is therefore crucial to know how to use these technologies effectively for data analysis and decision-making in support of the development of a sustainable and regenerative blue economy.

This course is part of a Postgraduate Program comprising seven modules. If you are interested in participating in any of the other modules, please contact us or refer to the Postgraduation Blue Economy Sustainable and Regenerative.
