*The event is open to MIT PIs, as well as other current members of MIT.*
AI to Support Climate Mitigation & Adaptation
Friday, January 21 | 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. EST
Location: Zoom: https://mit.zoom.us/j/99408889468
The MIT Climate & Sustainability Consortium (MCSC) and MIT Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) are hosting an afternoon MIT-PI focused event on AI to support climate mitigation and adaptation. The objective of this collaborative workshop is to advance MIT's campus conversations on how computation can help address some of the very urgent climate problems.
The workshop will feature a series of panel discussions on enhancing ecosystems and adaptation and resilience, the built environment and the role of AI therein, followed by open conversation, with a wrap-up focused on next steps.
Agenda
2:05 - 2:15 p.m. Introduction and Framing by D. Rus, E. Olivetti, and J. Williams
2:15 - 2:50 p.m. Enhancing ecosystems and adaptation and resilience (perspectives from J.Fernandez, M.Mazereeuw, H.Nepf, among others)
2:50 - 3:30 p.m. Climate impacts on human well-being and the built infrastructure (perspectives from C.Reinhart, N.Selin, among others)
3:30 - 3:40 p.m. Break
3:40 - 4:20 p.m Computation opportunities for addressing Climate Challenges (perspectives from R. Rivest, A. Edelman, U-M O’Reilly, among others)
4:20 - 4:30 p.m. Closing
