AI and Climate Mitigation

The Hidden Impact of AI on Climate Change Mitigation

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing the world in which we live. From self-driving cars to facial recognition software, AI is already having a major impact on our lives. But what is the impact of AI on climate change mitigation? While AI has the potential to help us address climate change, it also has the potential to worsen the problem. For example, AI could be used to increase the efficiency of fossil fuel production and consumption, which would lead to higher greenhouse gas emissions. AI could also be used to develop new technologies that help us reduce our carbon footprint, such as renewable energy systems and carbon capture and storage technologies.
