Sustainability in technologies is the way forward to support long-term ecological balance and human rights.

“When you think about Africa, the reason why environmental data is the most precious resource is that 60% of our population are farmers… so when you think about building AI solutions for the continent, this is where we decided to focus on enabling others to build solutions.” - Kate Kallot The latest blog post from Salesforce, "The Power of AI for Climate Action," dives into how artificial intelligence is transforming our approach to environmental challenges. We're excited to see Amini featured, showcasing our efforts in building the data backbone for the Global South.

I love the idea of incorporating AI in the climate era to give nature a voice at the table as we make decisions, help us better understand how to repurpose things, and to help us build more circular thinking. Great read! #climatechange #natureisbeautiful #aiindesign

AI to the rescue for Climate and Environmental Challenges. TrustMy.AI looks into how AI is helping with these critical climate issues by providing tools and analysis for scientists. #EarthDay #AI #ML #Climate #Machinelearning #Futurism #Fusion #TrustMyAI https://lnkd.in/eRRkb2wm

We are excited to introduce Jupiter AI – a new generative AI agent that makes understanding, analyzing, and acting on complex climate data more accessible while reducing the climate skills gap. Designed to seamlessly integrate with Jupiter Intelligence’s ClimateScore Global, and its industry-leading gold standard climate science, Jupiter AI can assess the impact from all climate perils at multiple customizable return periods for medium- and long-term projections of future risk. With a lower barrier of entry, anyone within an enterprise can harness the power of conversation-assisted climate analysis to understand the impact of climate change on their organization and specific to their role. Jupiter AI allows users to ask simple curated questions and receive comprehensive visual data presentations that quickly surface need-to-know impacts to their business in seconds. Users across the organization, not just climate professionals, can now: ✔️ Ask climate data questions and receive visual data that surfaces business impacts in seconds  ✔️ Glean insights from underlying data and receive recommendations for additional queries to show business impact  ✔️ Dramatically reduce time spent gathering and interpreting climate data  ✔️ Develop more efficient strategies ✔️ Filter data directly in the chat interface ✔️ Control the visual output of insights for stakeholders Read more about Jupiter AI here and reach out if you are interested in learning more! https://lnkd.in/gbByjC42 #climatedata #climaterisk #climateanalytics #JupiterAI #AI #climate #climateresilience #generativeAI #climatetech #climatechange

Is AI the hidden accelerant of the climate crisis? A recent piece in Global Environmental Politics suggests so. Generative AI and social media platforms, those digital realms we navigate daily, might be doing more harm than good in the climate battle. Here's the twist: While these technologies promise efficiency and connectivity, they may also be undermining our efforts to combat climate change. It's a paradox. On one hand, AI offers solutions for optimizing resources and reducing waste. On the other, its energy demands and the misinformation spread through social media are counterproductive. This isn't just a tech issue. It's an environmental dilemma. We need to pivot. To harness these powerful tools responsibly, ensuring they contribute positively to our planet's health, not detract from it. Let's start the conversation. How can we better align our digital advancements with our environmental goals? Your ideas could light the way. Check this out: https://lnkd.in/etQ5fy2r

Last month, I had the great privilege of participating in a fascinating event on "How AI Could Supercharge Progress in Solving Climate Change," produced by my friend Peter Leyden. I was one of 10 speakers who gave ~5-minute presentations, along with Saul Griffith Himanshu Gupta John Picard and others. Mine was a sort of level-set, helping #climate professionals understand the potential of #AI, and AI professionals understand the full range of #climatesolutions that AI could accelerate. And yes, we acknowledged the many emerging challenges AI presents, from creating autonomous self-willed actors, to creating deep fakes, to its prodigious appetite for energy and water — all of which we ignore or trivialize at our peril. But the evening was devoted to AI's potential to accelerate progress on all of the things we need to be transforming to address the #climatecrisis at the scale, scope and speed that's required: our energy systems, transportation and mobility systems, buildings and cities, materials and manufacturing, food systems and much more. I'd encourage you to read Pete Leyden's terrific summary article, and to click through to some of the short videos. https://lnkd.in/gJVDJT8p

I’ve refererred to this provocative session before. Here Joel Makower, who opened the conversation, provides a cogent summary that I hope entices you to read Peter Leyden’s summary and watch the videos he’s curated. There’s plenty to be concerned about with regard to AI, but there’s enormous potential too (which has been my own experience so far). And guess what: they’re not going away. So we worldchangers need to understand them, and know how to use them in support of the things we care about and #TheWorldWeWant.

As we grapple with the pressing issue of climate change, it's fascinating to see how artificial intelligence is emerging as a pivotal player in this arena. A recent article from Johns Hopkins highlights AI's role in tracking environmental data and optimizing energy consumption—essential resources that enable us to tackle climate challenges effectively. By utilizing AI, we can uncover valuable patterns in climate behaviour and create proactive solutions to mitigate their effects. Embracing this technology could be a game changer for our planet. Let's use AI for more than just entertainment. #ClimateChange #ArtificialIntelligence #Sustainability #Innovation
