Artificial intelligence could cut global greenhouse gas emissions by up to 5.4 billion tonnes a year by 2035, almost the combined emissions of the US and India.

That’s according to a new study in npj Climate Action from the Grantham Research Institute and Systemiq.

The message?

AI could be one of the most powerful tools we’ve got in the race to net zero – but only if it’s used smartly and guided by public policy.

The research shows that AI can drive deep cuts in three big-emitting sectors: power, transport and food. Together they make up half the world’s emissions. AI won’t do it alone, but it can supercharge systems already in motion.
