Environmental AI: Using Machine Learning to Combat Climate Change

As climate change accelerates, researchers are turning to artificial intelligence to help understand environmental patterns, predict changes, and develop mitigation strategies. This article explores how AI is being applied to environmental challenges across multiple domains.\n\nWe discuss applications in climate modeling, renewable energy optimization, wildlife conservation through computer vision, and smart agriculture. Case studies include satellite image analysis for deforestation tracking and deep learning for extreme weather prediction.\n\nThe article also addresses the carbon footprint of AI itself and efforts to develop more energy-efficient algorithms and hardware.
