ClimateGPT emerges as AI tool against climate disinformation: Here's how it works
ClimateGPT is a compilation of various open-source large language AI models that focus on highlighting the impact of climate change. The tool, powered by Dutch startup Erasmus.AI, accesses over 10 billion web pages and millions of open-access academic articles across natural, social, and economic sciences to ensure credibility and authenticity.
Developed in collaboration with the Club of Rome's Earth4All climate science initiative and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), ClimateGPT aims to drive resilient climate action for researchers, policymakers, and business leaders. Daniel Erasmus, CEO of Erasmus.AI, emphasized that the tool is designed not just as a technical achievement but as a means to accelerate social intelligence for a sustainable future.
The AI model is supported by a 7-billion parameter foundational model with over 300 billion climate-specific tokens, ensuring its performance and credibility. Additionally, the collaboration of AppTek and EQTY Lab has enabled ClimateGPT to be available in 20 languages, making it a versatile tool for a global audience.
Policymakers, business leaders, and researchers are expected to benefit from the decision support provided by ClimateGPT, helping them make informed decisions in the face of uncertainty, adds the report. The startup's initiative is a step towards creating a tool that contributes to addressing the challenges posed by climate change, offering a reliable source for information and fact-checking in the ever-evolving landscape of online information.
