The AI Gambit: Climate Change by Darshna Shah

Session Title: The AI Gambit: Climate Change
Speaker(s): Darshna Shah

Abstract: One of the most powerful applications of data and AI technology is in the fight against climate change. From better understanding climate change to solutions that allow us to mitigate and adapt to the climate crisis through: predicting energy demand, understanding which chemical structures can better absorb carbon, developing robust electric vehicle charging infrastructure, educational tools, optimising supply chains, creating smarter buildings, improving agriculture at scale and so much more- the possibilities for innovation are limitless! On the flip side, it is also important to be aware of the carbon costs when designing architectures covering every aspect of development (Data Engineering, Data Science, Web development, etc). During this session we will explore the complexities of building reliable predictive climate models and considerations of building green technology.
