Exploring AI and Autonomy in Aquaculture: Insights from the AquaCulture Shock Program and MIT Sea Grant Internships
Introduction to AI in Aquaculture Aquaculture is growing as a vital source of seafood worldwide. However, challenges such as environmental impact and operational efficiency remain. Artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous systems are emerging as key tools to address these issues. The AquaCulture Shock program, in partnership with MIT-Scandinavia MISTI, offers international internships to explore these technologies in real offshore environments. The AquaCulture Shock Program Overview The AquaCulture Shock program is designed to connect students and researchers with aquaculture operations that employ AI and autonomous technologies. Its collaboration with MIT-Scandinavia MISTI enables participants to gain hands-on experience in Norway, a country known for advanced offshore aquaculture practices. This partnership aims to foster innovation by combining academic research with practical industry challenges. AI Tools Applied in Aquaculture In aquaculture, AI tools include machine...
