Abstract
As the threat of climate change continues to grow, it is becoming increasingly clear that we must take action to mitigate its impact. One promising emerging tool is artificial intelligence (AI), which can help us better understand and address the complex challenges of climate change. In this talk, I will explore how AI is being used in a variety of climate-related applications, including monitoring and predicting weather patterns, optimizing energy systems, and improving agricultural practices. I will also discuss the ethical considerations surrounding the use of AI in climate action, and the potential benefits and drawbacks of relying on this technology.
