IBM collaborates with MBZUAI to develop AI techniques in the field of spatial geography
IBM announced today its efforts to use AI technologies to combat climate change through the Geographic Information System (GIS) model it developed in collaboration with NASA, focusing on analyzing heat islands in the UAE in cooperation with the Mohammed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence "MBZUAI". IBM's AI strategy continues to evolve by training and improving foundational models, sharing them across various fields, and transferring knowledge between multiple domains. These models rely on geographical spatial data and provide cognitive representations that help address and detect climate change challenges.
IBM continues its collaboration with NASA and MBZUAI to apply AI models for analyzing and planning urban heat islands, offering sustainable solutions to confront future climate challenges. In addition, IBM is expanding its collaboration with NASA to apply artificial intelligence to weather forecasting and improve weather-related predictions. These engagements demonstrate IBM's dedication to environmental sustainability and reflect its long-term commitment to addressing climate change challenges and preserving the environment.
