In recent years, AI has become a part of the solution to global concerns ranging from reducing workplace biases to feeding communities.
Fremont, CA: Data-driven technology, such as artificial intelligence (AI), can help solve some of the world's most pressing issues, such as climate change. For example, there is a massive public-private partnership in Canada combining knowledge and resources to address critical issues such as natural resources, food production, and the environmental implications of mining, energy production, and electricity-generating. Canada isn't the only country looking to artificial intelligence for answers.
Increased access to customer data and linkages to machine learning technology that heats homes, trades electricity, enhances wind power production, and keeps pipelines safe are already helping renewable energy suppliers across North America.

A noble crop of people is needed in the cleantech industry to create algorithm-driven systems that pull data from various reliable sources and verify the integrity of that data when applied to industry-specific activities. The key challenge is figuring out how to recruit and keep individuals who might be able to find better-paying or a more luxurious jobs elsewhere in the technology industry.
Creating a broad, AI-savvy talent pipeline across industries — from mining to energy to agriculture — would help to improve efforts to reduce global footprints while increasing local advantages. The sharpest minds must work on scalable solutions for energy efficiency, food distribution, and natural resource conservation for the globe.
When AI is used in cleantech, it creates efficiencies that allow the industry to produce more with fewer resources. AI technologies can help agricultural companies grow and process more food while using less energy, water, and fertilizer. Mining businesses can safely extract more minerals and metals from the ground while using less energy and generating less waste. When it comes to the energy sector, though, AI's impact is much more striking.
AI assists utilities and businesses in monitoring pipeline integrity, accelerates the development of nuclear fusion power, and allows intelligent infrastructure to connect with power grids. Artificial intelligence is assisting alternative energy providers in efficiently extracting consumer-ready energy from solar and wind farms. Data examined by AI-driven systems also aid providers in predicting when power plant equipment requires maintenance, allowing them to address problems before they become system failures.
