We are contacting you as a possible user of the AI-ARC project.
The AI-ARC project will present a highly innovative and user-friendly artificial intelligence based platform known as the Virtual Control Room. The Virtual Control Room will have the power to greatly improve maritime situational awareness, decision-making, communication, available rescue resources, and thus the safety of all maritime actors, particularly in the Arctic region.
While the project is still in the development stage we are looking for feedback from potential users to gain a better understanding of the likely acceptance of this new technology and also of any possible societal implications.
A short online survey has been prepared and is available at https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/AI-ARC-Acceptance
More details on the project, and the survey itself, can be found at the link.
Thank you for your time and I hope you are able to participate in this survey.
