Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies are increasingly gaining attention in various research fields related to environmental, sustainability, and climate sciences. Systemic risks, which arise from networked interactions in complex systems, are of particular interest. The application of AI technologies in conjunction with globalization processes is likely to create novel connections between humans, machines, and the living planet, including ecosystems and the climate system.
AI has identified “digital twins” augmented through AI analysis as key components of planetary digital “control loops” for effective climate mitigation action, wildlife management, and more robust farming practices. Cyberattacks in farming, food systems, and ecosystem management require a new operating system to secure IoT, enabling the creation of increasingly accurate models of farms and ecosystems and management and monitoring at scale. We seek researchers to construct “Virtual forests” based on data from sensors, utilizing data and decision services from the vast number of algorithms within the ecosystem and existing legacy software leveraging the AAI platform.
