The role of artificial intelligence in reducing the impact of harmful weather phenomena

Arabia Weather - Harmful weather phenomena are considered one of the most prominent challenges facing humanity in the modern era. These phenomena include high temperatures, sudden changes in weather, hurricanes, floods, droughts, and other events that greatly affect the environment and national economies.

With the increase in these harmful weather phenomena, it has become necessary to search for effective means of predicting and dealing with them, and this is where artificial intelligence comes into play, as it can help improve forecasts of weather phenomena and deal with them better.

Artificial intelligence is a new weapon to confront environmental challenges

One of the solutions that have been reached by major companies and prominent environmental experts is to use artificial intelligence as a means to address the challenges of climate change and provide a better environment for the world. Artificial intelligence analyzes huge amounts of data, generates accurate forecasts, and provides effective strategies to combat climate change.

At the Glasgow Environmental Conference in November 2021 , a range of measures to combat climate change using technology and artificial intelligence were discussed, as artificial intelligence can play a vital role in this context.

Providing a better environment for the world begins with predicting and preventing the effects of climate change, and artificial intelligence can analyze weather and climate data with great accuracy and provide forecasts that help avoid environmental disasters such as floods and droughts. Moreover, artificial intelligence can contribute to developing sustainable strategies for agriculture, water management, and improving the use of water. Environmental resources.

What are the positive effects of artificial intelligence?

• Providing recommendations to governments and companies to reduce carbon emissions and increase awareness of environmental problems
• Improving the environment and contributing to combating climate change
• Strengthening efforts to preserve planet Earth and improve the future of future generations

How can artificial intelligence be useful?

In recent years, we have witnessed a noticeable increase in weather fluctuations and the exacerbation of harmful weather phenomena such as storms, forest fires, and drought. For this reason, artificial intelligence and digital technology have become the subject of great interest for giant technology companies and environmental experts. Artificial intelligence is seen as a powerful way to predict the effects of these phenomena and work to reduce Trade it.

Digital technology and artificial intelligence play a big role in predicting adverse weather conditions such as heavy rains and hurricanes. Artificial intelligence is used to better monitor air pollution and analyze weather data. Also, aerial imaging and analysis tools are used to protect natural spaces such as forests and wetlands. Automated analyzes of images from satellites enable Artificial intelligence and drones can monitor the effects of climate change on the environment, and these technologies are also used to plant seedlings in hard-to-reach areas to improve the environment.

Moreover, artificial intelligence can provide a solution to air pollution and climate change, and can be used to develop self-driving cars and reduce toxic gas emissions from their various sources.

Artificial intelligence and the challenges it faces

A study conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology revealed that storing and processing the necessary data will consume huge amounts of energy, as this consumption emits about 284 thousand kilograms of carbon dioxide . Other estimates indicate that digital technology may constitute about eight percent of global energy consumption by 2030, and this situation raises fears of increased fossil fuel consumption. Thus increasing harmful emissions into the atmosphere.

Despite these challenges, experts point out that relying on technology alone will not be enough to solve this problem in the future. Therefore, the AI Now Institute has proposed green principles for the use of artificial intelligence. These principles require full transparency on the carbon impact, energy consumption and environmental impact of technology companies, and furthermore encourage the effective integration and regulation of technology to contribute to sustainable development.

Despite the challenges, the use of artificial intelligence also provides great opportunities to combat environmental challenges and achieve progress in environmental protection. In general, artificial intelligence can be a powerful tool in combating harmful environmental impacts, contributing to the preservation of the planet and reducing the circulation of harmful weather events.
