What impact will artificial intelligence have on the environment? How can it redefine energy challenges? How can it benefit these fields?

The world of the environment and energy is undergoing profound changes these days: the industrial world is expanding exponentially with consequences for the environment, demand for electricity and other energy sources is increasing, to name but a few. Progress and nature are seen as enemies, but they are not always opposed. 

AI is making a positive contribution to the challenges of energy and ecology.

It enables the rational exploitation of agriculture, the optimization of pollution-reduction processes such as recycling, or participation in research to combat plastic pollution of the oceans. In this context, the DATAIA Institute is funding two research projects, PEPER and Warm Rules, aimed respectively at optimizing the use of renewable energies and studying the adaptation of organisms to climate change.
