Author Description

How can artificial intelligence help reduce emissions of greenhouse gases? This deeply-researched book explores that question in detail, with 17 chapters covering eight sectors and a wide range of cross-cutting topics. The book also explores how power demand for AI is contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and how AI can be used to help respond to extreme weather events. Among the book's main takeaways: that AI has significant potential to help respond to climate change, that lack of data and trained personnel are the principal barriers to realizing that potential, and that the risks of AI must be carefully addressed when using AI for climate change mitigation.
