AI and Climate Resilience: Bridging Solutions for Our New Reality
Climate change has fundamentally altered the PNW’s landscape, and of regions the world over. We're not returning to the predictable weather patterns of the 1950s—instead, we're facing unprecedented heat waves, wildfires, floods, and grid vulnerabilities that demand innovative solutions.
This panel moves beyond the hype of LLMs and generative AI to explore how advanced statistics, machine learning, and computational methods can build genuine climate resilience.
As our world faces urgent challenges, this group is asking how AI can be leveraged for doing good in the world.
How do we protect homes from wildfire risk? How do we ensure energy systems can handle extreme heat events? How do we maintain food security as growing seasons shift? How do we keep communities safe and healthy in an increasingly unpredictable climate world?
Join us as we examine practical AI applications that are already making a difference—from wildfire risk assessment tools that help homeowners reduce property vulnerability, to grid optimization systems that maintain power during extreme weather, to agricultural technologies that adapt to changing precipitation patterns.
This conversation focuses on AI as a tool for acceleration and efficiency in climate adaptation, supporting the fundamentals we all depend on: safety, health, and community resilience.
