At the fifth annual AI for Good Global Summit held in Geneva, UNEP's work took center stage on AI and the environment to help tackle the triple planetary crisis, which includes achieving climate stability, harmony with nature, and a pollution-free planet.
“Across all these domains, we work with two things in mind, we call them the two sides of the coin, how do we deploy technology to achieve these goals, and on the other side, how do we make technology itself environmentally sustainable and responsible,” said Golestan Sally Radwan, Chief Digital Officer at UNEP, during her presentation.
One of these efforts is EnvironmentGPT, a ground-breaking application of Large Language Model technology for environmental purposes.
