AI for Sustainability: A Technology Perspective

About This Course

Sustainability is essential to the long-term well-being of all people and communities across our planet. A sound understanding of the fundamental principles of sustainability is therefore crucial to ensure good practices are promulgated and challenges identified. Sustainability is an expansive subject that encompasses varying aspects, and data is essential in parsing the complexities of this multi-faceted topic. The proliferation of data, and the advent of artificial intelligence tools, have opened new possibilities in the analysis of environmental datasets, to guide decision making for important sustainability hypotheses.



This course covers the intersection of these two dominant topics of the 21st century. We will look at how we can employ AI models to tackle specific sustainability challenges. Through this course, participants will gain a better understanding of how techniques like machine learning and deep learning can be applied towards pressing sustainable problems today.
