AI + Sustainability and the Environment

Sustainability and AI Research Projects for High School Students

Artificial intelligence is transforming how we implement sustainable farming practices, identify communities impacted by natural disasters, and understand sustainability and the environment. In the AI Scholars program, high school students can work on a project at the intersection of AI + sustainability.
