The participants discussed several points, the most important of which are: the use of artificial intelligence to accelerate the achievement of zero emissions, the role of artificial intelligence in consolidating the trend for renewable energy, the most important trends that lead artificial intelligence in this sector, and the financial benefits of using artificial intelligence in the battle against climate change. The session also discussed the importance of strategies to prepare for the consequences of climate change, and the role of advanced analytics and artificial intelligence in enhancing the ability to face climate challenges in a vital way, to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.
