UPDATE: Call for Expressions of Interest Artificial Intelligence in the Arctic Working Group

Organizers invite expressions of interest (EOI) for a working group on artificial intelligence (AI) in the Arctic. The goal of the working group is to help streamline research efforts to some extent and create more opportunities for involvement.

Within this group, there will be topic-specific (e.g. AI for sea ice) and geographically-specific (e.g. AI in the Arctic) working groups formed. Organizers are still looking for people (from research, industry, government, etc.) to contribute.

If you are interested and have not done so already, fill out the online form as an Expression of Interest.
