Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing how industries operate, and it could also help fight climate change. A major study published in npj Climate Action finds that AI could cut global carbon emissions by up to 5.4 billion tonnes per year by 2035. That’s more than the total annual emissions of the United States.

The study is led by researchers from the London School of Economics and Systemiq. The report entitled “Green and intelligent: the role of AI in the climate transition” shows that applying AI to three key sectors—food, electricity, and mobility—can unlock enormous environmental benefits.

AI’s strength lies in its ability to process large datasets, identify patterns, and optimize systems in real time. When used strategically, this can translate into greater efficiency, lower energy use, and less waste. These improvements are essential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and slow climate change.
