Combining Climate Science and AI
Priya Donti is at the forefront of combining climate science with machine learning to address the impacts of the climate crisis, including issues like illegal logging and flooding.
There is a dual relationship between artificial intelligence and the climate crisis. On one hand,
they’re both driven by fossil fuels, with the link between dirty energy and a heating climate being well-established. Additionally, energy-hungry data centers and certain AI-powered tasks require vast amounts of power.
On the other hand, AI has the potential to
dramatically reduce our climate impactby finding smart ways to cut energy consumption and shrink our carbon footprint. Thus, from a climate perspective, AI represents both a threat and a promise.
