Artificial Intelligence To Look For So-Called Climate Tipping Points, Create Early Warning Systems

An artificial intelligence program currently in development could very well be the saving grace of the human race. The results on the research of the deep-learning algorithm are being reported in a research paper, which is headed by applied mathematics professor Chris Bauch of the University of Waterloo. According to Phys.org, the paper is trying to look for specific climate crisis events called "tipping points," which are situations when humanity can no longer change the course of devastating climate change. Bauch stated that he and his team has found that their new artificial intelligence algorithm is able to predict these tipping points more accurately than before, but also offer new information at what the state of the world will be past the tipping point. A few of these "tipping points'' that Bauch's team talks about include Arctic permafrost.
