With the help of AI services, companies can generate data on future wildfire and flooding dangers. Furthermore, the EIS leverages existing weather data from IBM and technologies developed by IBM Research. Via APIs, dashboards, maps, and alerts, the platform gives guidance to address immediate challenges and long-term planning and strategies. The platform also helps climate and data scientists analyze environmental datasets and use a new climate risk modelling framework. With a new climate risk modelling framework, they generate data on future wildfire and flooding dangers. Moreover, they can tap natural language processing and automation features aimed to help estimate carbon emissions and identify risks for reduction.

According to IBM’s general manager of AI applications and blockchain Kareem Yusuf, IBM is bringing together the power of AI and hybrid cloud.
