Artificial Intelligence (AI) can play an impactful role in supporting climate action while boosting sustainable and inclusive economic growth. However, limited research exists on the handprint of AI on the low-carbon transition. Here we identify five areas through which AI can help resolve the climate threat. We then estimate the potential for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions through AI applications in three key sectors—power, food, and mobility—which collectively contribute to nearly half of global emissions. This is compared against the increase in data centre-related emissions generated by all AI-related activities.
