Episode 44: Episode 44: Can AI Empower Community Voices in Climate Adaptation?
Can Urban AI activate human agency in the performance and design of cities, particularly in relation to climate change? Can the unfair systems that produce climate vulnerability in the first place, expand the role of marginalized stakeholders in climate adaptation? Leading urban tech researcher, Dr. Anthony Townsend examines the role that artificial intelligence innovations could and are playing in empowering such communities. From resilience planning chatbots to synthetic visualizations of flood threats, he maps the possibilities and risks presented by these emerging technologies for the urgent work of responsible participatory climate adaptation. Debra Lam leads a follow-up conversation.
