The 21st century is the age of big data and artificial intelligence (AI), two powerful tools that can contribute to solving some of the world’s most pressing problems.
AI already offers many solutions for fighting climate change in areas such as clean transportation, smart agriculture, as well as climate modelling and disaster response. Many of these innovations are still in their infancy. Numerous challenges lie ahead, but the potential is enormous.
This panel will bring together experts and representatives from the private sector to discuss AI’s limitations and how it can become a concrete part of our climate solutions. The panel will include artificial intelligence experts from Québec and around the world who take part in discussions with policy and scientific leaders in the field.
