Can tech giants bring the AI fight to climate change? - TechHQ

Concerned that the majority of air quality issues affected those in low-income countries, the team developed a solution called AirQo, an initiative that combines human ingenuity, AI models, and boxes packed with air monitoring technology to predict pollution patterns in Kampala. Air sensors on buildings and moto-taxis collect swathes of pollution data, and cloud-based AI software swiftly analyses it to make air quality forecasts. These predictions are passed to government agencies, who can work to improve air quality and reduce the risk of exposure within local communities. The research team hopes that one day this technology will reduce pollution on streets across the continent so that this generation and the next will know what it means to breathe fresh air.
