Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers in a broad sense to computers or in general machines that are programmed to perform complex functions usually associated with cognition (learning, problem-solving, etc.). Typical problems tackled by AI research can involve knowledge representation, planning, learning, natural language processing, perception and the ability to move and manipulate objects. Used in the correct way, AI can also automate complicated processes involving large and diverse data sets, diminish the risk of human errors and give a solid basis for improved decisions.

NORCE has a rich cross-disciplinary expertise which is important for seeing the potential in the use of AI, but also for adapting methods, satisfy the actual needs of the users and anticipate the potential problems that the use of AI may entail. Our experience with AI covers a wide range of research and industry projects. [New paragraph]
NORCE is a member of NORA-nettverket (Norwegian Artificial Intelligence Research Consortium) and CLAIRE (Confederation of Laboratories for Artificial Intelligence Research in Europe).
If we are to raise fish welfare and growth to a new level, we must have better control of the fish during production. Combining artificial intelligence with knowledge of fish biology is called digital fish and has been highlighted in the European Commission's new report on future technology. This is also at the heart of our SFI initiative, iFishIENT.
