Climate change has begun to take its toll on human beings and the condition of Earth, thus Artificial Intelligence is the most viable option to counter it.
A few days back, a 16 old Swedish climate Greta Thunberg stunned the world with her electrifying speech about climate change and how the world is standing on the brink of mass extinction. But do we really need a 16-year-old to remind ourselves what mother Earth is going through? Man has left no stone unturned in deteriorating the climate just for the sake of earning a few extra dollars. To some respite to us, researchers have found a remedy to this situation in the form of Artificial intelligence. AI can be used to monitor and detect endangered species, diseases, optimize crops, and many more.According to the report done by Intel, 74% of the business professionals believed that Artificial Intelligence will provide solutions to long-standing environmental issues. For example, from technologies like IoT, we can have a better understanding of the Earth; land thus can save significant disasters from happening.Artificial Intelligence can assist humans in reviving the climate and suggest ways not to deteriorate it further.How AI Technology can help the mother Earth?Below are some methods in which AI can save our worldControlling the pollution The numbers of deaths all over the world due to pollution are immense. Emission from the industries, pollution caused by motor vehicles, the causes of air, water, land pollution are endless.AI can give better and more functional tools to monitor pollution with more exceptional quality and accuracy. The machine learning will help in organizing a more targeted solution if any mishap occurs, thus eradicating or minimizing its consequences.AI can store a large amount of data and processing it accurately with its algorithms, it can predict the areas which are under threat of pollution. The prediction will help the authorities to take proper action and prevent the problem from exaggerating. It will also allow the government to take strict action in that particular area, thus solving the issues from the root cause.Artificial Intelligence can solve and improve agriculture practices to control land pollution. Machine learning with robotics can provide automated data to the farmers so that they could understand the nature of the soil and what crop they should in here.Moreover, as they now know the kind, there will be less usage of pesticides and pressure on the land, which will result in the decrement of land pollution. The technology will also suggest to them the best time according to the season of the years to sow a crop, how to deal with untimely rains, etc. Predicting natural disasters Once we feed the information of a particular demographic in the AI system, it will analyze the land, water, and air condition of that area and give information about it. It will also know the history of natural disasters like floods, earthquakes, tsunami, forest fires, etc. and take actionable steps to prevent it.Through reinforced technology, Artificial Intelligence can provide the scientists' critical data and images related to the movement of tectonic plates, level of groundwater, distortion of land, etc. so that they can be ready for any mishap and take action according to the information.With AI in process, nothing would be immediate or unforeseen for the scientists as they would know how to deal with a particular situation as they have the right set of information. If there are some changes than usual, the officials will get ready with their things. Thus evacuation of people could be done beforehand to prevent casualties. Preventing Mass destructionEarth has diversified biodiversity, which helps in the regulation of dreaded diseases and prevents them from spreading. But in the past four decades, 60% of the total biodiversity has wholly disappeared, and no wonder humans have had a significant role in it.With Artificial intelligence, the scientists can have wholesome data of the endangered and rare species so that proper steps are taken to stop their mass extinction. Also, we should understand that Earth's ecosystem is such that every living being is dependent on each other as they constitute and complete the food chain. If any of the link is broken, the food chain would be disrupted thus causing or triggering the beginning of mass extinction.We recently had massive fires in the jungles of Amazon in Brazil that are considered to be the lungs of Earth's ecosystem. Artificial Intelligence could have helped the authorities in this situation as the forests faced irregular and frequent fires in the past year that trigged the large one. The police could have taken precautionary steps in the beginning and thus could have avoided the disaster. Fighting Climate change Climate change is real, and it is high time that we take some concrete action to control it. Human beings have eroded the Earth left to right and center in the name of development and industrial revolution that it has made an absolute mess. To manage and minimize the threats of climate change, we need to measure the sea level, and the decreasing level of the glaciers and AI can aptly help in that.The periodic report will keep the scientists on their feet on thinking and implementing steps to counter the situation, thus giving an extra cushion to themselves and their fellow human beings.Artificial intelligence can surely bridge the gap layman understanding the condition of climate change. Therefore each human nature can take steps on their behalf and help the process of restoration.Apart from minimizing the impact, new ideas can be implemented to rebuild the distorted climate to give more impetus to fight the situation of climate change. Because the usage of Artificial Intelligence is not just limited to conserve, instead it can also help in redesigning so that we leave a livable climate and environment for our future generations.
