Contributor(s): Dr Melissa Chapman, Amy Fisher, Sylvan Lutz, David McNeil, Professor Carmen Nuzzo | Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are versatile technologies that have drastically lowered the cost of data production and analysis, potentially accelerating global decarbonisation and addressing socioeconomic issues. Nonetheless, concerns persist regarding their environmental impact and the risk of propagating low-quality information, especially with large language models (LLMs). Like any tool, AI can yield both positive and negative outcomes. As the demand for real-time data increases for the net-zero transition, the Transition Pathway Initiative Centre (TPI Centre) at LSE is navigating this challenge. While AI could help process the necessary data for net zero alignment, unchecked reliance on automation may lead to misinformation and greenwashing, jeopardising sound decision-making. This event will explore the TPI Centre’s pilot programme aimed at automating data collection to evaluate the net-zero progress of companies, banks, and countries. By bringing together academics, researchers, investors and businesses, we hope to foster discussions on the information essential for advancing the net-zero transition.Featured image (used in source code with watermark added): Photo by Getty Images via Unsplash: https://unsplash.com/photos/3d-rendering-of-earth-futuristic-technology-abstract-background-illustration-60_6d24hGTg

  • Welcome to the LSE Events podcast by the London School of Economics and Political Science.

  • Get ready to hear from some of the most influential international figures in the social sciences.

  • I think we're ready to start.

  • Welcome,

  • welcome everyone here in person in the auditorium or online to today's session which is titled...

  • harnessing AI, safeguarding high integrity data for climate action.

  • Today's event is organized by the Transition Pathway Initiative Center, or TPI Center for short.

  • here at the LSE in collaboration with the LSE Data Science Institute or DSI for short and is part of one of the events of London Climate Action Week.

  • My name is Carmen Nuzzo, I am the executive director of the Transition Pathway Initiative Center.

  • The center provides independent,

  • rigorous and forward-looking research and data into the progress that companies,

  • banks, and sovereigns are making in the transition to a low carbon economy.

  • And we're joining forces today with the DSI, the Data Science Institute,

  • which, working alongside academic departments and research centers across the school,

  • fosters research, education,

  • and engagement in the study of data science and artificial intelligence,

  • AI, through a social science lens.

  • I'll quickly run you through the agenda for today.

  • So the program is, after a short introduction by myself, I'll hand over to my colleague,

  • Silvan Lutz, who will explain a bit the reason why we're hosting today's event.
