Earth Science AI. Not a phrase many are familiar with that is before you meet this week’s guest Iggy Bassi.
We are all too aware that our climate is fundamentally changing at a speed, and scale we’re not equipped to comprehend. As a species, we’re brilliant at dealing with more apparent dangers like finding shelter or defending our turf from aggressors - but we’re not equipped to comprehend problems at the scale and complexity of our planet.
So we’re all doomed - you might as well switch off this podcast, grab a dance partner and party like it’s the end of the world. Well, maybe not just yet!
Earth Science AI may just be the kind of toolset we need to able to comprehend and quantify the problem at a planetary scale.
Spurred by this threat, (and let’s face it, extinction is a pretty motivating threat) our guest this week founded London-based start-up called Cervest which is developing a new branch of AI called Earth Science AI, which promises to support governments, businesses, organisations, and farmers to quantify natural capital and anticipate the risks that climate uncertainty poses to humanity.
Earth science AI is a new area of innovation that combines Earth science with AI-powered decision-making tools. It promises to help us make better decisions in a time of climatic uncertainty, potentially transforming our capacity to adapt to things like famine, natural disasters, migration, agriculture and geopolitics.
In this episode, we talk to Iggy about how Earth Science AI works.
