Artificial Intelligence in Climate Change

Unless you are totally out of touch with the real world, you would’ve read the recent reports and predictions of our climate, the emotionally charged speech made by Greta Thunberg condemning the world leaders about climate change. We all by now have probably realized that mankind is running out of time to find a prevention for the global threat of climate change. While there might be still people on this planet who claim that climate threat is not an immediate threat and we still have lots of time to find a solution; most of us know that we need to throw everything we have to bring forth a cure to mother earth, including AI.

The advent of AI in modern technology has challenged several people to ask how could this revolutionary technology help with the greatest threat humanity faces. 

Our environment has already started showing the side effects global climate has brought and it has got some serious outcomes. Glaciers have shrunk, ice on lakes & rivers are breaking, animal and plant ranges have shifted. The Earth’s soaring temperatures are kindling prolonged and hotter heat waves, persistent droughts, heavier rainfall, and increasingly powerful hurricanes.

Can a Computer Actually Help Tackle Climate Change

Artificial Intelligence has assisted humans in customer satisfaction, industry automation, increasing business revenue and much more, but rather than reconstructing economies; how can technology enhance our environment? 

It is a significant part of a general debate among the top nations about how to utilize AI for the advantage of human beings, the difficulties that technology poses and how to tackle them. By implementing AI in climatic well-being, it will help not only to subdue the causes of pollution but also assist us to adapt to these climate changes. 

  • Smart Buildings Harness The Power Of Artificial Intelligence

With the advancements in technologies like IoT and Artificial Intelligence, it is feasible to digitize homes or offices and make everyday devices smarter. An AI-powered building automation can reduce energy consumption and carbon footprints by monitoring smart thermostats and automated sensors. 

The efficiency of remote connectivity and access through smart meters track electricity consumption and send information to users. The users can monitor electricity remotely when appliances are not in use and cut off the energy to save electricity. 

Artificial Intelligence could help by forecasting electricity generation and demand, enabling suppliers to completely integrate renewable resources into national grids and reduce wastage of energy.

  • AI Implemented Smart Vehicles Burn Up Fewer Fuels

The vehicle sector estimates a greater part of all global energy-related carbon dioxide emissions, with two-thirds of this produced by road users. Smart autonomous vehicles have been reducing their reliance on fossil fuels and increasing their renewable energy production. With the driver able to monitor emissions and are also quieter than average vehicles, it confirms that smart vehicles are indeed the vehicle of the future. 

The application of Artificial intelligence in the transportation sector could make efficient use of vehicles implemented with IoT, thus reducing the number of wasted journeys, increasing vehicle performance, and helping in efficient freight management.

  • AI Can Predict Climate Changes and Weather More Accurately

Using Artificial Intelligence, analysts can foretell the precise status of climate change, which will support devise a more reliable climate model. Certain foresight can be adopted to recognize our exposure to vulnerabilities and environmental hazards, thus aiding us to react in a better way to the effects of climate change.

Although artificial intelligence is not the only perfect solution to tackle climate change, it is initiating an innovative perspective into the current dilemma.

Climate change is an enormous problem and its complexity is exhibited by the accelerated rise in sea level and the many natural disasters we face.

As climate change’s outcomes progress to compel prompt action, corporations have started to adopt Artificial Intelligence and machine learning to help operate data and improve decision making. 

The convergence of these technologies presents a critical novel opportunity for humanity to build a sustainable trail forward.
