That’s a great example of what machine learning is good for - practical, focused application where you only care about the general accuracy, and a miss or two aren’t a big deal.
Also a good use case for a government-developed app. They have the most up to date access to satellite photos (likely already paid for other departments to use, too) and a desire to make their fisherman more efficient.
good use case
Is continuing to overfish our oceans a good use case or am I missing something?
That’s tangential, the above commenter is describing technology and it’s application…not the ethical value of that overall objective.
You are looking at this with a bias of “too much fishing is bad”, but this could also be looked at as a boat will need to spend less time in the water to reach their quota which means less pollution in the ocean and less harmful noise exposure to underwater life.
Technology is neutral, how’s it’s used is ethics.
