The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will convene an ad hoc planning committee to organize a workshop focused on exploring innovative ways artificial intelligence (AI) can enhance and accelerate the transformation of climate science into actionable information for decision making for resilience and mitigation. The workshop will serve as a forum for interdisciplinary, cross-sectoral dialogue to facilitate cross-sector engagement, identify critical applications where AI can inform climate action at speed and scale, and consider how AI’s broader societal impacts affect approaches to addressing climate change. The workshop may include discussions of:

• The use of AI in climate modeling and emerging AI tools that can advance climate adaptation, mitigation, and resilience efforts.
• Areas where AI could facilitate near-term advancements in climate science and/or the transformation of that science to actionable information for addressing climate threats and impacts (for example, in agriculture, urban systems, water systems/management, power grid operations, carbon management, climate finance, policy, laws, and public health).
• Stakeholders' key needs for climate information at various spatial (e.g. local to national) and temporal scales.
• Expanded opportunities for interdisciplinary and cross-sector partnerships to co-develop responsible climate-AI tools, including consideration of how to incorporate findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR) principles and data access and management.
