AI for Earth (Core Science Keynote)

The speed and scale at which climate systems are changing, and the enormity of the human impact of those changes, requires a commensurate response in how society monitors, models, and manages climate systems. A key component to that response will emerge from the fundamentals of AI – transforming how we collect data, convert those data into actionable information, and communicate that information across the world. By training increasingly sophisticated algorithms with this unprecedented collection of data on dedicated computational infrastructure, we can combine human and computer intelligence in a way that will allow us to make increasingly informed and optimal choices about today – and tomorrow.
