The European Union and US pledged to collaborate on research towards use of AI to address major global challenges including climate change and mitigating the impact of natural disasters.
In the European Commission’s statement on the move it explained the Administrative Arrangement on Artificial Intelligence for the Public Good was also designed to help tackle challenges related to healthcare, energy and agriculture. The EC noted findings and resources would be shared with “international partners that share common values but lack relevant capabilities to help them manage such emergencies and challenges”.
