Can AI help us tackle air pollution?

Join us on Tuesday, 31 March to discuss how Artificial Intelligence tools can help us tackle air pollution.

Imagine asking AI for data on the health impacts of issues such as mould exposure and receiving a reliable answer. Artificial intelligence, alongside strong metadata frameworks, is emerging as a powerful tool for breaking down barriers to data discovery.

AI, especially large language models (LLMs), offers a transformative opportunity in how we search and interact with data itself. These technologies can be harnessed for good to answer questions that traditionally require expert triage and access to siloed data sources.

Join us on Tuesday, 31 March to hear about research into perceptions of LLMs in data discovery and the importance of access to quality data in solving environmental problems such as air pollution. Professor David Topping will discuss ways to unlock the potential for environmental data to inform real-world solutions to wicked problems through toolkits like the Digital Solutions Hub.

Speakers:

  • Professor Davind Topping, Professor of Earth and Environmental Sciences, The University of Manchester
  • Chaired by Professor Cecilia Wong, Professor of Spatial Planning, Planning, Property and Environmental Management and Academic Co-Director of Policy@Manchester
