- How AI can help us better understand the issues surrounding climate change, including the cost of doing nothing (or not doing enough) – supporting better decision-making
- Why government policy is key to changing behaviour and how it could be used in a non-intrusive way
- The importance of working together globally and the dangers of an AI arms race.
