Climate change: Too complex for one mind, but not for many. Here's why collective intelligence is our best bet. Have you ever wondered why some of the brightest minds in the world struggle to solve climate change? It's not for lack of trying or intelligence. The problem lies in the approach. During my time working with government agencies on complex challenges, I've seen firsthand how centralised decision-making often falls short. Here's the truth: no single AI model or human expert, no matter how advanced, can fully grasp the intricacies of climate change. Enter Collective Intelligence – a game-changer in tackling multifaceted global issues. Here's why it's so powerful: ➡️ Diverse perspectives: By leveraging a 'crowd' of AI agents, each with unique expertise, we capture a 360-degree view of the problem. It's like having a round table of climate scientists, economists, and policymakers all working in harmony. ➡️ Robust decision-making: Collective Intelligence follows structured decision processes, considering objectives, constraints, and potential risks. This systematic approach helps navigate the complexities of climate policy more effectively than gut feelings or siloed thinking. ➡️ Adaptability: As new data emerges, a collective of AI agents can quickly incorporate and analyse it, ensuring our strategies evolve with the latest climate science. ➡️ Trust and transparency: Unlike black-box solutions, Collective Intelligence provides clear reasoning behind its conclusions. This transparency is crucial for building public trust in climate action plans. Imagine if we approached climate change not as a single, overwhelming problem, but as a network of interconnected challenges, each tackled by specialised AI agents working in concert. The potential for breakthrough solutions skyrockets. But here's the million-dollar question: Are we ready to embrace this collaborative approach to intelligence, or are we still clinging to the idea of a single, all-knowing AI saviour? What's your take? Could Collective Intelligence be the key to unlocking effective climate solutions? #CollectiveIntelligence #ClimateAction #AI #Whitespace #AGI #DecisionIntelligence

AI for Sustainable Innovation: Breaking Boundaries and Building a Better Future 🌍 As we stand at the precipice of global challenges like climate change, resource scarcity, and social inequality, one question arises: How can we leverage technology to foster sustainable innovation and shape a brighter future for our planet? The answer lies in the intersection of Artificial Intelligence

I just published my latest in-depth essay that synthesizes what about 250 experts and innovators learned in our event in San Francisco last month focused on how AI could accelerate progress in solving the great challenge of climate change. We had a dozen of them with expertise in climate or AI or both give their answers, which we videoed with a sophisticated 3-camera shoot. The essay integrates all the contributions with the whole being greater than the sum of the parts. But the essay also links to the talks of each of the speakers that can be viewed in their entirety on our Reinvent Futures Youtube channel. The conversation was sobering when we faced up the realities of the climate challenge but inspiring as well because AI is already breaking new ground on what's possible - and the potential impact of this new general purpose technology may be what humans need to finally pull this off. Read the piece to understand why. We really had some amazing minds in the mix like: Saul Griffith, Jef Caers, Himanshu Gupta, Anna-Katrina Shedletsky, John Picard, Apoorv Bhargava, Matthew Kropp, Vijay Gadepally, Joel Makower, Michael Marano, and Harnish Jani. This kind of important and complex conversation could not be done without pulling together the networks and resources from our key partners BCG X and SHACK15, as well as sponsors who are on the forefront of Generative AI: Google Cloud, Writer, Adobe, Radium, and B Capital . Thanks for making this event and the ongoing series The AI Age Begins be all it can be. And a special thanks goes out to my partner at Reinvent Futures and co-host Joe Boggio. #climate, #AI, #cleanenergies, #GenAI, #GenerativeAI,

We’re standing on the verge of a groundbreaking shift in #climateresilience solutions for emerging markets, driven by rapid innovation and enhanced access to high-quality data, advanced analytics, and AI. We had a few questions top of mind, and took some time to explore them. Questions like, how are innovators making use of trends to accelerate the use of data and analytics for climate applications? How are advances in data and analytics being used to design better, more affordable climate resilience products for underserved communities? And what are some of the real-world barriers to the use and application of data for climate resilience?    At the end of October, we’ll be publishing our new research publication tackling some of these questions: Advancing Climate Resilience: Innovations in Data, Analytics and Artificial Intelligence in Emerging Markets To be the first to see our new publication, sign up for our newsletter: https://lnkd.in/gkqY6zNh #climateinnovations #climatedata  

We're looking forward to the #FTClimateCapitalCouncil roundtable this Wednesday! Experts Emiliya Mychasuk and Sleman Saliba will explore how companies are using artificial intelligence to accelerate their efforts to decarbonise. ➡ How can AI help companies ensure they have a more data-driven approach to climate related issues?  ➡ What hurdles do companies face when implementing AI and how to overcome them?  ➡ How can AI help businesses manage, adapt and mitigate the effects of climate change? #decarbonisation #aiforclimatechange #techforgood #climateinnovation

Great event today at The Brookings Institution with amazing faculty from Duke University representing our Duke Climate Commitment. #AI represents both an opportunity and challenge when we think about #climate change. AI has the potential to provide breakthroughs in #climatescience, opportunities for mitigating the effects of climate change and accelerating how we #adapt to climate change. But we also need to be mindful of the impacts AI is having on #energy demand. More intentional design of #data centers, #efficiency gains in software and hardware, intentional siting, and using the AI revolution to accelerate and leverage demand in next generation sustainable energy like nuclear, SMRs, hydrogen can help mitigate the risks. Thanks to Brian Murray, David Brown, Mark Florian, and Aaron "Ronnie" Chatterji for great thought leadership!

This week in the Sexy Climate Change newsletter 'Computer says... yes?' I explored whether AI would do a better job than politicians at outlining a comprehensive climate plan than politicians? The results were not what I expected, to read the whole post, the substack link is in the comments below! P.S. I do not advocate for AI to replace policymakers, researchers, think tanks, local knowledge, and lived experience. Instead, I approached this as a thought experiment.

How can local AI ecosystems in developing countries drive climate action? Eleonore Fournier-Tombs explores this question in a detailed blog post for United Nations University Centre for Policy Research (UNU-CPR), highlighting the role of venture capital, university specializations, and multilateral partnerships. https://lnkd.in/ehZ-D6YV #AI #ArtificalIntelligence
