During the current year, opinions of a mixed nature have often arisen regarding the popular topic of artificial intelligence: from those who do not want to know anything about it and prefer to stay away, to those who are willing to push the boundaries of ethics in order to exploit this new technology.

Most have realized, as the months passed, that artificial intelligence can be a huge resource for humans if used in the right way. ClimateAI, a U.S.-based startup dedicated to safeguarding the environment, has demonstrated that it can make perfect use of this technology. The company's project involves the development of a platform to assess the vulnerability of agriculture to warming temperatures over the next two decades.

This tool has already proved to be of crucial importance, in fact it has enabled some farmers to change their plans in time, choosing more climate-resilient seeds and shifting planting times.
