Climate Change, Climate Informatics, and AI: Information Analysis

Abstract

I assess and discuss relevant literature on the potential positive and negative contributions of AI to climate change as it relates to climate sciences and its interdisciplinary branches of paleoclimatology, paleoecology, and archaeology. To the moment of writing this essay, there is an information gap on the applications of AI in the three interdisciplinary branches. I conclude, AI is an essential tool for scientific advancement and interdisciplinary and cross-boundary collaboration; however, there is a technological gap between developed and developing countries that hinders AI applications in climate change and mitigations as envisioned under the Paris Agreement, while Advancements in AI applications in climate change are limited by priority agenda and trained personal.
