Utilization of Artificial Intelligence for the protection of the environment - Cyprus Mail

A new study from PwC and the World Economic Forum examines how AI can help transform how society addresses climate change, delivers food and water security, reduces risk from disasters, protects biodiversity and bolsters human well-being. "Harnessing Artificial Intelligence for the Earth", examines how AI can be put to work for the planet's greatest environmental challenges. The study is the latest in a series of reports from the World Economic Forum's Fourth Industrial Revolution for the Earth initiative, designed to accelerate progress of the development and use of emerging technology to benefit environmental challenges. The report focuses on the use of AI in the context of six critical global challenges: climate change; biodiversity and conservation; healthy oceans; water security; clean air; weather and disaster resilience. The report warns that, although AI presents transformative opportunities to address the Earth's environmental challenge, if left unguided it also has the capability to accelerate the environment's degradation.
