The data hasn’t improved since then, although, fortunately, AI tools have vastly improved and offer new possibilities.

Precise, verifiable, and granular data is key to climate risk mitigation. Increasingly, artificial intelligence systems emerge as the preeminent tools for collecting and analyzing climate insights with unprecedented accuracy and scope.

In early January 2025, amid the wildfires in Los Angeles, multiple posts about the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on climate change circulated widely.  Since LA is on fire and part of the south is frozen,

To better understand glaciers in Svalbard and beyond, we used an AI model to analyse millions of satellite images from Svalbard over the past four decades. Our research is now published in Nature Communications, and shows these glaciers are shrinking faster than ever, in line with global warming.

Sarah Kaizar’s AT Feed is an automated aggregate of current climate news and a critique of the future of information.

The decision by Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, to end its fact-checking program and otherwise reduce content moderation raises the question of what content on those social media platforms will look like going forward.

As Donald Trump begins another term as US president, environmentalists are dreading the effects of his vows to “drill, baby, drill,” yank the US out of the Paris Agreement, end tax credits for electric vehicles and more.

Some industry observers told ABC News that the ostensible softening toward Trump by big-tech corporations reflects a new business landscape that is both heavily influenced by the president-elect and increasingly defined by the development of energy-intensive artificial intelligence products.

Standing to benefit are animal groups threatened by habitat loss or human activity that could be better protected with better understandings of their languages. Existing collaborations aim to document the vocal repertoires — the distinct calls and their different contexts — of the Hawaiian crow and St. Lawrence River beluga whales.

Kate Dargan Marquis of the Moore Foundation discusses spurring research and development to keep up with the growing impact of wildfires.

Combining human efforts, nature, and AI in what Noubar Afeyan calls “polyintelligence” could solve problems such as climate change or cancer, he wrote.

The researchers advocate for a dual approach - developing tools that not only detect misinformation but also educate users about responsible AI usage. By incorporating explainable AI into their framework,
