Between August 14 and 16, the Universities of Playa Ancha (UPLA) and Mayor de San Andrés de Bolivia (UMSA) developed the international course “AI (Artificial Intelligence) Applied to Earth Sciences” online.
The initiative, which has more than 100 registered people from Argentina, Bolivia, Chile and Peru, targets undergraduates in geoengineering, geography, regional planning, geology, real estate planning and regional planning, among other fields. From the establishment of contact and the implementation of activities related to topics of common and current interest, which are presented in the life of teaching and research, in this case, with a focus on artificial intelligence, showing its characteristics and benefits in the formation processes.

An AI application for self-learning and text correction was shared, and AI tools for search management were demonstrated. Likewise, the connection of geography with earth sciences and the support it would have with the application of artificial intelligence was discussed, along with the large amounts of geological data that artificial intelligence could process.
The opening day was attended by the President of the University of Playa Ancha, Carlos González Morales, Vice President Catalina Rojas Martínez, and the Dean of the University of Playa Ancha. College of Natural and Exact SciencesReinaldo Salazar Espinosa.
