Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) can be a powerful tool in addressing some of humanity's biggest challenges named global climate change. Monitoring climate change involves large and ever-evolving data sets. In order to track changes in climatic conditions in real time, address vulnerabilities to reduce them, and provide essential opportunities for humanity to find solutions that can have a positive impact on our planet more quickly, artificial intelligence systems can assist in the analysis of sets of environmental data. Even though AI is only one tool in the difficult analysis of the factors causing climate change, its capacity to handle vast amounts of data, find patterns, and occasionally anticipate data affords us the chance to better comprehend the ecosystem
