Artificial intelligence is changing the world faster than we can see, and its impact on the fisheries industry has been groundbreaking. Dr. Zach Siders, a research ecologist at the University of Florida, sat down with Ashleigh Jansen to share his experiences using AI in his field. He discusses his work with NOAA to reduce marine bycatch, distribution models he has been developing, and what he thinks of AI bringing about this fourth industrial revolution. Zach brings a plethora of knowledge to the table and his passion for his research is ultimately contagious.
