Addressing Climate Change with AI
Dan Loehr

This talk will survey how AI is currently used to address climate change, and describe possible future use cases. This high-level overview will touch on various aspects of climate change (e.g. energy, transportation, land use), of AI (e.g. image processing, reinforcement learning, LLMs), and of their intersection. The talk will conclude with resources for learning more about this area, and suggestions for contributing to current and future efforts.
