Project Start: June 2026
Environmental professionals and programs are seeing rapid advancements in the development and use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) tools and processes. This team will explore the use of AI/ML in the environmental field to help facilitate acceptance of its use and faster, more effective decision-making.
What are the barriers to overcome?
While AI/ML offers great potential, its adoption in the environmental field is not without challenges. A number of barriers prevent government and private organizations from effectively implementing these technologies including:
- Lack of Knowledge
- Regulatory and Policy Uncertainty
- Cost and Access
- Data Quality and Trust
How will we overcome the barriers?
The team will determine the needed written and educational deliverables to provide foundational knowledge and resources that help the environmental community navigate these barriers. Once the team starts, additional information will be provided.
Note: The project team proposal outlines the initial scope and intended deliverables. As the team begins its work and collaboration, the final project scope, deliverables, and content may be adjusted to best meet the needs of ITRC members and the environmental community.
