AIhub monthly digest: May 2021 – ocean studies, defining AI, and philosophy of mind

Welcome to our May 2021 monthly digest where you can catch up with any AIhub stories you may have missed, get the low-down on recent events, and much more. In this edition we look at research into the oceans, AI and philosophy of mind, and highlight some interesting podcasts. This month we focused on the UN sustainable development goal (SDG) of life below water. We interviewed Nayat Sánchez-Pi, director of Inria Chile and leader of the OcéanIA project. The project team is developing new artificial intelligence and mathematical modelling tools to contribute to the understanding of the oceans and their role in regulating and sustaining the biosphere, and tackling climate change.
