Watch: CCS Virtual Event on AI’s Implications for Climate Security
Emerging artificial intelligence (AI) tools have spurred reactions in the climate world ranging from despair over their water and energy use to optimism about their potential contributions to resilience efforts. But what is doomerism, and what is misguided techno-optimism? Do the potential benefits of AI outweigh the costs and unintended consequences? And what do these tradeoffs mean for security? The answers to these questions depend on the type of ‘AI’ being used and how it is being used. Regardless, it is crucial that civil society, researchers, and policymakers guide responsible AI policy and incentive structures in support of a more climate-resilient future.

By Tom Ellison
Information manipulation by authoritarian states, extremist movements, and private interests is increasingly contributing to and capitalizing on extreme weather, undermining security and democratic discourse.
That was one key message from a recent webinar from the Center for Climate and Security (CCS), which brought together national security, climate, and information experts for a discussion available to watch here. Deputy Director Tom Ellison gave an overview of CCS’s work on climate security, information manipulation, and democratic governance, with support from the John and James L. Knight Foundation. This work aims to close gaps at the collision of security, climate, and information issues, including analysis of how actors like Russia amplify climate disinformation to weaken democratic rivals, and exercises on how US states and cities can reckon with intensifying climate, security, and information challenges.
