Its ability to enhance, optimize, and reinvent systems, and accelerate discovery and innovation, can help align the global economy with net-zero goals. However, seizing this opportunity requires urgent, coordinated action from governments, businesses, and civil society working together and with markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Guided intentionally, AI can mitigate climate risks and build a more equitable and prosperous world. The challenge is no longer whether AI can contribute to the net-zero transition, but whether we will act decisively to harness its transformative potential with sufficient purpose and urgency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fo Sims Witherspoon, a leader at the AI research lab Google DeepMind \u00ab\u00a0<mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-pale-cyan-blue-color\">AI can be a transformational tool in our fight against climate change,\u00a0\u00bb<\/mark> She says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using wind power as her case study, she explains how powerful neural networks can help us better predict Earth&rsquo;s changing ecosystems and accelerate the breakthrough science needed to create a carbon-free energy supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Without deliberate action, AI risks exacerbating global inequalities.
