Thanks for sharing, @ai_curious and @paulinpaloalto! Sounds super interesting.
I recently saw this new announced specialization: AI for Good Specialization - DeepLearning.AI
This one reminded me also of the companies’ vision you outlined in your posts. Gonna be exciting to see more activities in the field of decarbonisation and environment protection, using data analytics.
Best regards
