AI Workshop Successfully Conducted at MSSRF! We are thrilled to announce the successful completion of an insightful AI Workshop led by Dr. Tricha Anjali, a renowned entrepreneur in the Gen-AI space. With over 15 years of academic experience across Illinois Tech, Chicago, and IIIT Bangalore, Dr. Tricha brought a wealth of expertise in data science, machine learning, and product engineering. The workshop focused on enhancing the capacity of MSSRF staff to leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) for advancing sustainable development. As AI continues to transform various sectors, participants were equipped with tools and knowledge to apply AI for social good, particularly in areas like research, project development, and knowledge management. Key topics included: · AI's potential in sectors such as agriculture, biodiversity conservation, and climate change. · Foundational AI technologies, like neural networks and large language models (LLMs), and how they can optimize decision-making, resource management, and livelihoods. · Discussions on the challenges of AI, such as bias and AI hallucination, and the importance of developing ethical AI. This workshop provided participants with practical AI tools to streamline tasks, increase efficiency, and tackle complex challenges. MSSRF is now better equipped to incorporate AI innovations into our ongoing mission of sustainable development. Tricha Anjali | Nagarajan R | CAbC- MSSRF
