Jan 30, 2025 · By 2030, three transformative forces—climate change, artificial general intelligence (AGI) and quantum computing—will converge, reshaping the global business landscape in ways never seen before.

Jan 31, 2025 · Countries have pledged commitment to the 2030 Sustainable Development Goal (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement to combat climate change. To maximize synergies between SDGs and climate actions (CAs), we ...

Jan 13, 2025 · Vijay Gadepally, a senior staff member at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, leads a number of projects at the Lincoln Laboratory Supercomputing Center (LLSC) to make computing platforms, and the artificial intelligence systems that run on them, more efficient. Here, Gadepally discusses the increasing use of generative AI in everyday tools, its hidden environmental impact, and some of the ways that ...

Jan 17, 2025 · Fundamentally, it is just computing, but a generative AI training cluster might consume seven or eight times more energy than a typical computing workload,” says Noman Bashir, lead author of the impact paper, who is a Computing and Climate Impact Fellow at MIT Climate and Sustainability Consortium (MCSC) and a postdoc in the Computer Science ...

Jan 16, 2025 · The climate transition requires annual global investments of at least $4 trillion by 2030. At a time of slow growth, investment can boost productivity, create jobs and stimulate inclusive growth. AI is uniquely positioned to accelerate this transformation by scaling innovation and driving profound systemic change.

3 days ago · Irvine, Calif., Feb. 4, 2025 — Computer models reveal how human-driven climate change will dramatically overhaul critical nutrient cycles in the ocean.In the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, University of California, Irvine researchers report evidence that marine nutrient cycles – essential for sustaining ocean ecosystems – are changing in unexpected ways as the planet ...

Mar 21, 2024 · AI researcher Yoshua Bengio provides his own thought experiment: “ [W]e may ask an AI to fix climate change and it may design a virus that decimates the human population because our instructions were not clear enough on what harm meant and humans are actually the main obstacle to fixing the climate crisis.”

Aug 31, 2024 · Resilient infrastructure is fundamental for urban sustainability, especially in the face of challenges such as climate change and natural disasters. AGI’s capacity to analyze diverse datasets can help identify vulnerabilities within urban infrastructure and develop strategies to enhance resilience.

Apr 8, 2024 · In this report we focus on what Artificial intelligence can do in fighting climate change. We show the advantages of using AI for sustainability but also some of its drawbacks.

Jun 9, 2022 · This Perspective presents a framework to assess how AI affects GHG emissions and proposes approaches to align the technology with climate change mitigation.
