To assist humanity in rectifying their actions against the planet’s environment, artificial intelligence will facilitate us. Climate change is the earth’s biggest hurdle and artificial intelligence can facilitate us in the war against escalating planetary temperature levels. The United Nations has already cautioned us that 2021 in the final opportunity for humanity to make a considerable difference in the war against global warming. The UN organization is hosting the CPO26 climate summit to tackle this important concern. Industry heavyweights such as BCG and Hitachi are collaborating for this endeavour and combined with Climate AI champions, these organizations can foster innovation and furnish the correct solutions. 

The Climate Change Crisis is a reality, and it’s happening now 

Identify fast and affordable solutions is critical in order for every nation to play its part and artificial intelligence can have a major part to play, as well. Artificial intelligence is assisting officials combat dangers such as wildfires, reducing environmental risks in susceptible regions, facilitating drone surveillance monitoring, and other attempts to make our earth more habitable in the years that are to follow. 

Artificial intelligence will be the core facilitator for all of these attempts. There are various advantages to leveraging artificial intelligence in tackling this challenge. To begin with, artificial intelligence can assist in the reduction of CO2 emissions and utilize vast amounts of information to help comprehend the cause-and-effect relationships. The energy domain can leverage artificial intelligence to minimize its emissions and also minimize the utilization of fossil fuels through predictive maintenance. Within the field of transportation, artificial intelligence solutions can forecast traffic more precisely in the pursuit of optimizing commercial transport. 

Artificial Intelligence for 0 Waste 

Waste minimization is a sphere where artificial intelligence can demonstrate its true capabilities to overcome this hurdle. Greyparrot is an “AI startup that leverages AI-driven computer vision to enhance transparency and automation to recycle things.” This startup lately gathered 1.85 million pounds in a seed funding round to assist recycling with waste detection software. To put a full stop to the wastage of water, a startup known as WINT is leveraging artificial intelligence to identify and stop leakages at the point of origin. The technology warns the individual when there is a water leakage and instantaneously turns it off. Intelligence real-time monitoring detects origins of leaks and waste to minimize your water consumption and avert damages. These organizations are leveraging sophisticated predictive analytics and dynamic monitoring systems to minimize waste. 

Artificial Intelligence and Environmental Intelligence 

Artificial intelligence can facilitate improved climate forecasting. This nascent technology has created disruption and enabled scientists obtain 89% to 99% precision with regards to the detection of tropical cyclones, weather fronts, and atmospheric rivers. Environmental intelligence has become a considerable aspect of climate trend forecasting. Artificial intelligence and deep learning have the capacity to swiftly undertake analysis of dynamic systems and simulate them to generate precise models that can be leveraged by researchers for more precise decision-making. 

An instance of this is how Google is leveraging ML (machine learning) to “Nowcast” precipitation in high res to facilitate almost instantaneous forecasting of weather trends and patterns. In the opinion of the Verge, “Google’s methodologies, by contrast, generate results within minutes as they don’t attempt to model complicated weather systems, but rather make forecasting about simplistic radar information as a proxy for rainfall.” 

Not only Google, efforts such as the Ocean Data Alliance go about implementing artificial intelligence and operate with an international network of cities to produce comparative Smart Ocean City Action Plans that leverage ocean data to rectify the oceans and tackle the issue of global warming. 

The future doesn’t look too bright until and unless we proactively leverage technologies in the pursuit of putting an end to this global hurdle. Concentrating on data-based solutions and producing them at a commercial level is a potential answer. Artificial intelligence has established itself to be the absent puzzle piece that will facilitate us to combat climate change and restore the environmental well-being of the earth. With an increasing number of artificial intelligence innovations, we can look forward to more holistic solutions. Combined with innovations within the field of artificial intelligence, it is vital to inform industries and the public domain about the functionalities and potential of artificial intelligence technologies. Enterprises are required to begin integrating artificial intelligence processing to demonstrate their efforts in combating climate change.
