What role can artificial intelligence play in the fight against climate change?
Journalist-in-Residence Tobias Asmuth talks with guests about machine learning, climate change, and the differences between our wishes and the reality of dealing with artificial intelligence.
This event will take place in German, please see below for further information.
Machine learning is not the magic bullet that will save our planet. No single solution will "fix" climate change. But many applications based on machine learning have great potential. Sometimes artificial intelligence is already being used. Often the applications are still ideas. How can we report on these fascinating solutions without raising false expectations

About Cyber Valley Journalist-in-Residence
In a three-to-six-month residency, one or two journalists explore how AI applications can be used for good journalism and how journalists can ensure that their reporting on the technologies behind the buzzword "artificial intelligence" is appropriate and evidence-based. The journalists are selected by an independent jury. During their residency, the journalist-in-residence can conduct research on a topic of his or her own choice in exchange with AI researchers from different disciplines – absolutely independently. Cyber Valley does not explicitly expect any reporting on AI topics or about Cyber Valley during this time. The program takes place twice a year in cooperation between Cyber Valley and the Center for Rhetorical Science Communication Research on Artificial Intelligence (RHET AI Center). It is funded by the Volkswagen Foundation.
