Artificial Intelligence (AI) has vast potential – both good and bad. The World Economic Forum has identified AI-generated disinformation as the world’s greatest near-term threat, ahead of extreme weather events caused by climate change. How do communicators working on water issues address the risks AI-generated misinformation poses to science-based content, and can AI be used to help? This session will focus on the dangers, challenges and opportunities associated with AI. What implications does AI have for water and science communicators, and the water sector as a whole? How can stakeholders improve collaboration across sectors to build trust through science-based knowledge and action? Helping us make sense of the rapidly evolving AI space will be Aleksis Pirinen, Senior Researcher in AI specialising in climate adaptation at Research Institutes of Sweden (RISE), Marcus Lundstedt, Head of Communications at the Stockholm Resilience Centre, and Mulumba Jane Nabunnya, Country Director IRC, Uganda.
