We organized a follow-up AI4SG workshop from 7th -10th February 2022, where the project teams were invited to present highlights, and share ideas from their projects with a wider audience. The workshop had exciting keynote addresses on Public Health and Conservation, along with moderated sessions for the project teams to share insights from their projects.
