On a global scale, AI can transform the finance, manufacturing, and education industries by making things run smoother and more efficiently, as it creates new ideas. It can also play a role in environmental protection by climate predictions, managing of resources, and pollution control. So by embracing AI tech, it can boost economies and improve total livelihood across Africa and the world. #aice #aiced2024 #alx_ai

AI aids farmers and scientists in combating climate change. #AIforClimateChange 🤝 Follow us on Discord 🔜: https://lnkd.in/gt823Zd3 🤝 Follow us on Whatsapp 🔜 https://wapia.in/wabeta _ ❇️ Summary: The changing climate in central India is threatening tomato growers due to frequent droughts, impacting their income. ClimateAi, a Silicon Valley startup, is using artificial intelligence to help farmers adapt to the warming temperatures. Their platform assesses climate, water, and soil conditions to forecast crop suitability for the next 20 years. The platform was tested in Maharashtra, India in 2021, allowing farmers to input seed and planting location information into the ClimateAi app for personalized forecasts.

Silicon Valley's ClimateAi is tackling an interesting challenge by leveraging AI to predict crop vulnerability to rising temperatures. Tomato growers in central India grapple with the impact of extreme weather on their crops, experiencing significant losses due to severe droughts. By simulating future conditions, their platform forewarned Maharashtra's farmers of a 30% decrease in tomato output, prompting strategic adaptations. CEO Himanshu Gupta highlights how this AI tool rapidly redefines farming strategies, empowering quick decisions on seed selection and planting times, saving time and costs. As an efficiency multiplier, Gupta believes AI holds immense potential in climate change solutions. AI's impact extends beyond agriculture; experts foresee its role in revolutionizing industries. While its efficiencies in optimizing decisions offer promise, concerns arise regarding the energy-intensive infrastructure supporting AI. Collaboration between software engineers and climate scientists is crucial to strike a balance, ensuring AI's benefits outweigh its environmental footprint. The convergence of AI and climate science presents a powerful opportunity to accelerate climate solutions, but thoughtful consideration of environmental impact remains essential in this pursuit.

Yesterday while having a coffee with my colleagues, we were thinking on how we can make villages which are different but then we switched topics of discussion but the thought of making villages differently stayed in mind. Few questions popped up in mind on using AI and Sustainable living so thought of drafting it down so that I don’t forget. Have you ever wondered how artificial intelligence can revolutionize sustainable living? Picture this: Smart homes where AI optimizes energy use, cutting waste and lowering bills or shall it be traditional Indian Diyas rather than implementing AI for conserving energy and cutting bills ? Imagine sustainable agriculture where AI ensures precise resource use, boosting crop yields while conserving water or shall be it traditional bullock carts and tube wells ? Think about eco-friendly transportation, with AI enhancing route efficiency and promoting renewable energy sources or switch it back to coal ? This blend of AI and sustainability isn't just about a greener planet—it's about creating a more efficient and innovative future for us all. How do you see AI shaping our sustainable world? #ArtificialIntelligence #Sustainability #InnovativeLiving #EcoFriendly #FutureTech ---

Embracing AI for a Greener Future: Learn how Artificial Intelligence is driving sustainability efforts worldwide and reshaping our approach to environmental challenges This summer has created a much-needed and overdue wakeup call on climate change and climate action. Canada has experienced record-breaking fires with an area larger than the size of Belgium being burned and the fires continued to rage. Dozens of people have died due to flooding in the Himalayan region of India. The recent fires in Maui forced people to jump into the ocean to save themselves. Severe cyclones off the coast of East Africa has been so intense that they affected land-locked countries like Malawi and Zimbabwe. Climate change has severely contributed to the intensity and frequency of these events and it can be hard to know what we can do to help.  AI is a powerful took that we can leverage to help in our fight to save our planet. One of AI’s strengths is data analytics and with our current technologies, it can analyse the present data from a variety of sources, including satellite imaging, sensors and other environmental monitoring devices. Companies can also use these data technologies to track and offset their own CO2 emissions and environmental impact.  Food, water and electricity security can also be compromised by climate change and extreme weather events and climate change. AI can help with resource optimization. Sensors and data and can accurately monitor regions of concern in the ground that can trigger wildfires. AI can also optimize the use of valuable resources like water and raw materials, leading more efficient consumption and reduced waste. Energy-efficient systems can also be setup and implemented that reduce the amount of energy used and ensure a more reliable and sustainable energy supply.  It can be scary to think about the future and overwhelming to find a solution. It can sometimes feel like we are running out of time but using the tools available to us like artificial intelligence, we can start looking for ways to make a difference.  #ai #artificialintelligence #aisustainability #aiclimatechange #aidigitalsolutions #greentech #greentechnology #echotech #aiforchange #aiforgood #greenintelligence #reshapingtheenvironment

“Embracing new AI technologies with open arms is essential if we are to make a meaningful impact on ocean health and global decarbonization,” said Stig Martin Fiskå, Global Head of Ocean, Cognizant. How can technology impact the health of our oceans? 🐟 Optimizing fish farming practices: Farmers can use machine perception tools and AI to automate feeding times in accordance with the hunger levels of the fish to reduce wasted feed—a significant carbon emission source—while improving growth metrics. 🚢 Streamlining shipping operations: Analyzing large volumes of data from various sources, including satellite data, weather forecasts, and vessel data using an AI-powered platform, can generate the necessary insights to streamline operations and reduce congestions.

The topic on #AI and #Sustainability keeps coming up jointly at events, discussions, and online webinars. The common denominator can be #complexity on both sides. Maybe our hope is that while one is a very complex matter (sustainability), AI should be able to solve it (ChatGPT4 uses 175 billion parameters, so in our perception it probably “should” be able to solve complex problems! 🤔😃).   Alas, AI per se will not solve anything. But there are so many valuable and useful #applications of AI in different sustainability-related initiatives and #projects.   With the wonderful #collaborativeteam of Women PowerUP Network we have collected #examples from different parts of the world. Here’s a small sneak-peak to trigger your curiosity: 🚗 Transport Innovation in Asia: Singapore employs AI to balance its power grid by analyzing data from smart meters and weather forecasts. This predictive capability minimizes energy wastage, prevents outages, and enhances overall urban energy efficiency. 🌱 Agricultural Advances in Africa: Kenya is revolutionizing agriculture with AI, using data from satellites and soil sensors for precise crop monitoring and yield predictions. This helps farmers make informed decisions, improving food security and resource management. 🌾 Resource Optimization in Latin America: Brazil utilizes AI for coffee yield predictions through satellite imagery analysis, which aids in optimal harvest timing and resource allocation, ensuring sustainable agricultural practices.

𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝟐: 𝐌𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐈 AI is revolutionizing the monitoring and analysis of deforestation, offering detailed insights that enhance conservation and reforestation efforts. Globally, the Earth lost about 411 million hectares of tree cover from 2001 to 2020, contributing to nearly 10% of greenhouse gas emissions. AI tools, like those from Global Forest Watch, are crucial for identifying deforestation hotspots. In India, AI is used to assess forest health, with institutions like IISc Bangalore leading initiatives. AI-driven predictive models help forecast deforestation trends and aid in effective environmental policy-making.
