Hassan Moustahfid presents an overview of NOAA’s six strategies on emerging technologies including Artificial Intelligence (AI) Strategic Plan (see more details https://sciencecouncil.noaa.gov/NOAA-Science-Technology-Focus-Areas).  


The overarching goal of the NOAA AI Strategic and implementation Plan is to utilize AI to advance NOAA’s requirements-driven mission priorities. Through this plan, NOAA seeks to reduce the cost of data processing, and provide higher quality and more timely scientific products and services for societal benefits. Read the Artificial Intelligence Strategic Plan at https://sciencecouncil.noaa.gov/Portals/0/Artificial%20Intelligence%20Strategic%20Plan_Final%20Signed.pdf?ver=2021-01-19-114254-380.  


Hassan also shares several examples of the implementation of AI in NOAA for different type of ocean data and modeling.  He discussed the needs for  adequate cyberinfrastructure to advance AI and presented several options of infrastructure that could enable the implementation of AI. Finally he shared two upcoming for networking and hands on AI application to ocean data  1- NOAA 3 AI workshop- and 2021 NOAA GPU NVIDIA AI Hackathon.  Dr. Hassan Moustahfid is a Senior Marine Biologist and Manager with NOAA's US Integrated Ocean Observing System (US IOOS). He sevres in the NOAA NOS Science Board,  NOAA NOS Artificial Intelligence Working Group, Geo Blue Planet WG, Ecosystem Indicators WG and NOAA representative to ICES WGMLEARN, WGFAST and WGCEPH.
