Indirect Estimation of Facility-level CO\(_2\) Emissions from Water Vapor Plumes
Electric power generation from fuel combustion in power plants was alone responsible for 15 gigatons of CO\(_2\) emission annually during the years 2015–2020. Achieving net zero emissions requires monitoring power plant emissions and identifying pathways for emissions reduction. Climate TRACE is an international non-profit coalition dedicated to providing independent emissions…
Aligning AI with Climate Change Mitigation
As AI-powered systems gain increased traction in society, a key concern to address is the climate cost of deploying such powerful models at scale. Depending on the model complexity and the intended applications, AI can accelerate or decrease greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Though AI systems accounted for \(\leq 1.4\%\) of global GHG emissions in 2020, the growing demand for billion-parameter…
Scientific Discovery in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
AI techniques, with their power to accelerate scientific discovery, are becoming increasingly integrated into all stages of scientific research, including hypothesis testing, data annotation, system modeling, and insight generation. This paper reviews key scientific breakthroughs from the past decade in the application of AI for science. Here, I touch upon a selection of AI advancements that are…
