Can AI chats be used to make a positive climate impact leading to climate action?
????? ?? ?? + ??????? ?????? – ??????? ??????? ??????? ????? ???????? ?? ??????? ?????? ???? ?? ???
I read the above sad news earlier today.
And this begs the question: ??? ?? ????? ?? ???? ?? ???? ? ???????? ??????? ???????
For someone like me who likes to maintain a good distance from digital at least for a good portion of each day – and thus, inevitably, stay closer to physical during this portion – it comes as a tragic shock that someone could take his life from chatting with a bot. And it concerns me even more when I read that ??? ?????????? ??? ??? ???????? ??????? ?? ??? ??????? ??? ??????? ?? ??? ???????? ???? ??? ?? ??? ?? ??????? ??????.

View full playlistI have not read the transcripts of his conversation – not sure if they will be made public – but from the little I could glean from the news reports, it appears that he was having a sense of hopelessness and loss of control over climate change and global warming, and the chat bot, rather than leading him to something positive, was pushing him faster over the edge.
AI is here to stay, in some form or the other – old-fashioned fogies like me might view with scorn, but we are old and out of fashion, so who cares.
Kidding apart, the real question I have is: ??? ??? ?? ???????? ??? ????? ?? ?? ??? ??? ???? ???? ?????? ???????? ??? ??????? ???????? ?? ???????? ???? ?? ???? (?? ??? ??????????? ??????? ???) ?? ???? ?? ???????? ??????? ???????
AI is already being used extensively to support decarbonization and climate action for many verticals, but most of these are used by industries and institutions.
As I prepare to launch a new online education platform for climate action sometime soon ( www.clidemy.com for those who want to have a sneak peek), news items such as these make me think of what AI can do to tilt hundreds of millions – why, even a few billion people – ??????? ????????, ????????? ??????? ?????? ?? ? ???????? ?????.
Will be wonderful to get your inputs on how AI can be leveraged to help the common women and men graduate themselves to a more climate and earth friendly lifestyle.
