Artificial intelligence can help to create a more sustainable future by reducing the impact of natural disasters. According to NASA, artificial intelligence (AI) is a “system designed to act rationally, including an intelligent software agent or embodied robot that achieves goals using perception, planning, reasoning, learning, communicating, decision-making, and acting.” There are many different types of AI, including generative AI, which can learn from and mimic large amounts of data to create content, such as text and images. 

AI has extraordinary abilities to predict climate change patterns. Accordingly to the United Nations World Meteorological Organization, “AI-driven technologies offer previously unheard-of capabilities to process enormous volumes of data, extract insightful knowledge and improve predictive models.”  

Generative AI can also be used in architecture to help solve design problems. For example, AI can be used to make 3D renderings and models, optimize materials, automate time-consuming calculations and analyze data to create new ideas.

These predictive models and 3D renderings can help architects, developers and city planners adapt designs and plans to improve the resilience of buildings to climate change.  This technology can benefit underpriveldeged people because city planners and government can improve the climate resilience of all homes.
