The TEMA High-level webinar, themed “AI4Sustainability: How can artificial intelligence be used to increase societal resilience to climate changes and extreme natural events?,” was held online on November 15th at 10:00am (CET). The webinar AI4Sustainability, convened by The Lisbon Council in the scope of the Horizon Europe project TEMA, seeks to open the discussion about the roles of AI as a tool for environmental and climate action.

During the webinar, Antonios Deligiannakis, Technical University of Crete, Chaniá (TUC), highlighted the crucial role of AI within CREXDATA project. The key topics included the application of AI in text mining in the context of social media feeds, the optimization through the use of Reinforcement Learning, and the three use cases.
