Abstrakti

The rapid adoption of AI technologies presents a paradox in climate change policymaking: while AI holds transformative potential for advancing climate action such as optimising renewable energy systems, enhancing carbon modelling, and supporting climate adaptation strategies, it also incurs significant environmental costs. Inspired by a discussion that took place as part of an ongoing co-design study involving interdisciplinary stakeholders, this paper aims to provoke dialogue and critical reflection among HCI scholars on the role of AI in the development of climate change policy. Rather than providing conclusive answers, this paper puts forward a research agenda around the uncertainties, trade-offs, and ethical dilemmas that must be navigated as AI becomes increasingly integrated into climate change policy development.
