Last week, at the Africa Climate Summit in Nairobi, Kenya, Google expressed its commitment to using AI solutions to tackle the climate crisis. Africa is disproportionately affected by climate change, and often lacks the infrastructure and resources to manage these risks. Google believes that AI can help address these challenges. The summit emphasized the importance of collaboration in addressing climate change. Google is working with governments, organizations, and communities in three ways: through a partnership-based approach, raising awareness of AI tools that provide early warnings for natural hazards, and teams in Africa driving innovations to address societal challenges, particularly in food security.
