Generative artificial intelligence (AI) coupled with large language models, such as OpenAI's ChatGPT, and social media can influence climate action. This claim has been made in an article published in the Global Environmental Politics Journal.
Researchers at the University of British Columbia (UBC) said, there is a common perception that AI, social media, and other tech products and platforms are neutral or somewhat positive regarding the steps being taken to address climate change.
