July 23, 2023 — Global Fishing Watch has received a USD 60 million (EUR 53 million) commitment through “The Audacious Project” which it says will help it use AI to map more than one million ocean-going vessels and all fixed infrastructure at sea over the next five years.
The Audacious Project is housed within TED, a nonprofit best known for “TED Talks” devoted to “ideas worth spreading.” Each year the project selects a cohort of projects that represent solutions to critical challenges facing the world.
