Over the next few months, you and your computer code can hatch a plan to save a planet. It’s a fictitious artificial planet, granted, but one that simulates the economy, geopolitics and climate of our real world. And perhaps your ideas will soon prove useful here on warming Earth.Launched last month, AI for Global Climate Cooperation is a competition organised by Mila (an artificial intelligence institute in Quebec) and Salesforce Research. The group, working at the intersection between AI and economics, is soliciting submissions in the form of novel climate agreements and negotiation protocols.
未來幾個月內,你和你的計算機代碼可以弄出一份拯救星球的計劃。當然,它是一個虛構的、人為編造出來的星球,但它要模擬我們真實世界的經濟、地緣政治和氣候。而你的構想也許很快就會證實能夠在應對地球變暖上發揮作用。
