Climate progress, impacts, and inspiration for Black History Month
Engaging with an AI chatbot on the topic of climate change shifted people’s views towards the scientific consensus, researchers at the University of Wisconsin found. The study also revealed that people came away with a more favorable view of the Black Lives Matter movement after chatting with the bot.
Whose views shifted the most? Those skeptical of the scientific consensus on climate change and those that held the most unfavorable views of the BLM movement.
“I won’t say they began to entirely acknowledge human-caused climate change or suddenly they support Black Lives Matter, but when we repeated our survey questions about those topics after their very short conversations, there was a significant change: more positive attitudes toward the majority opinions on climate change or BLM,” said author Kaiping Chen. It turns out that the best thing you can do to fight climate change is talk about it, even if “you” happen to be a chatbot!
AI can help fight climate change in other ways, too. It detects methane emissions in satellite images and tiny wildfires before they can morph into large and dangerous blazes. AI can identify the best places to dig for new deposits of cobalt, lithium, and copper, all of which are essential for present-day battery technology for clean energy technology – but it is also designing batteries that cut the amount of lithium needed by 70%. With all the negative news about AI use these days, it’s encouraging to see it being used for good.
