AI could help fight climate change
- dboreham 7y agoThe article missed the most obvious way in which AI could fight climate change: by replacing the current election and political system with AI. This would fix the fundamental problem that humans are collectively unable to avoid killing the planet they live on. Solution: put decision making into the hands of software designed to achieve the goal of not killing the planet. I'm pretty sure as this (election replacing AI) is a much easier technical problem than self driving cars.
- martincollignon 7y agoIf you have time to dedicate to the fight against climate change, consider reading this paper [0] and start or help out some of the projects mentioned. One example is Tomorrow [1], a startup that tries to calculate your CO2 emisisons based on app integrations and is looking for help on these integrations and CO2 models, but there are other projects like this one [2] or this one [3].
