It means embedding responsible AI principles into the design of climate initiatives and governance structures, which includes fostering the inclusion of participants from civil society, local governments, the Global South, and marginalized groups.
It means not underestimating its risks and drawbacks for climate goals. In the context of climate action, responsible AI also means rejecting “techno-solutionism” and not overblowing its potential. The forms these principles take within climate-relevant contexts are, however, noteworthy. Many principles of responsible AI - such as fairness and equity, accountability, safety, privacy, security, and robustness - are common across areas of application, and are each already the subject of extensive policy recommendations. Responsible AI in the context of climate actionĪrtificial intelligence is a general-purpose tool that needs to be developed responsibly in all contexts. We are pleased to share today the preliminary report for discussion at COP26, which will be adopted by the RAI WG at the GPAI Summit on 11-12 November. Together with its delivery partners, Climate Change AI (CCAI) and the Centre for AI & Climate (CAIC), GPAI is releasing its initial strategy to support the governments of GPAI member states and beyond in their responsible adoption of AI for climate action.
This is why the Responsible AI Working Group (RAI WG) of the Global Partnership on AI (GPAI), a forum where governments and experts can come together to discuss the development of AI, has created a Committee on Climate Action and Biodiversity Preservation to start to address questions regarding AI’s potential to support climate action.
Recent scientific reports, including from the IPCC, conclude that we are in a state of climate emergency, which calls for the mobilization of all actors across politics, business, science, and civil society. Deadly floods washed away entire towns and killed hundreds of people in Western Europe and China, while the most extreme wildfires in decades ravaged Italy, Greece and Turkey and a one-in-a-thousand-years heatwave gripped the Pacific Northwest. With COP26 on the horizon, the year 2021 has already seen a cascade of record-breaking natural disasters.
