Exploring Anthropogenic change through an AI lens | AI FOR GOOD DISCOVERY
0Humans are vastly modifying the earth system, with identifiable impacts across the land surface, ocean and atmosphere. This AI for Good Discovery explores three applications of how explainable AI (XAI) techniques can help us visualize and quantify these changes over time. First, we demonstrate how we can utilize XAI methods to quantify the footprint of human activity across the global land surface in near-real time. Second, we demonstrate the utility of XAI for extracting forced climate patterns through time amidst a sea of climate noise and model disagreement. \nThird, we show how XAI can help us better understand and predict temporal variations in decadal warming trends. Learn how viewing our climate through an AI lens has the power to uncover new insights into anthropogenic change – allowing scientists to ask ‘why?’ but now with the power of machine learning.\n\nSpeaker: \nElizabeth Barnes, Associate Professor, Dept. of Atmospheric Science, Colorado State University\n\nModerators: \nDuncan Watson-Parris, Postdoctoral Research Associate, University of Oxford\nPhilip Stier, Head of Atmospheric, Oceanic and Planetary Physics, University of Oxford\n\n\nJoin the Neural Network! \nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/neural-network/\nThe AI for Good networking community platform powered by AI. \nDesigned to help users build connections with innovators and experts, link innovative ideas with social impact opportunities, and bring the community together to advance the SDGs using AI.\n\n Watch the latest #AIforGood videos!\n\n\nExplore more #AIforGood content:\n AI for Good Top Hits\n • Top Hits \n\n AI for Good Webinars\n • AI for Good Webinars \n\n AI for Good Keynotes\n • AI for Good Keynotes \n\n Stay updated and join our weekly AI for Good newsletter:\nhttp://eepurl.com/gI2kJ5\n\n Discover what's next on our programme!\nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/programme/\n\nCheck out the latest AI for Good news:\nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/newsroom/\n\nExplore the AI for Good blog:\nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/ai-for-good-blog/\n\n Connect on our social media:\nWebsite: https://aiforgood.itu.int/\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/ITU_AIForGood\nLinkedIn Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/26511907 \nLinkedIn Group: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/8567748 \nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/aiforgood \nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AIforGood\n\nWhat is AI for Good?\nThe AI for Good series is the leading action-oriented, global & inclusive United Nations platform on AI. The Summit is organized all year, always online, in Geneva by the ITU with XPRIZE Foundation in partnership with over 35 sister United Nations agencies, Switzerland and ACM. The goal is to identify practical applications of AI and scale those solutions for global impact.\n\nDisclaimer:\nThe views and opinions expressed are those of the panelists and do not reflect the official policy of the ITU.\n\n#AIforClimateScience #AIforGoodDiscovery
