However, limited research exists on the potential influence of AI on the low-carbon transition. Here we identify five areas through which AI can help build an effective response to climate threats. We estimate the potential for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions through AI applications in three key sectors\u2014power, food, and mobility\u2014which collectively contribute nearly half of global emissions. This is compared with the increase in data centre-related emissions generated by all AI-related activities.Read more:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s44168-025-00252-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s44168-025-00252-3<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One area where the researchers believe AI can help is \u201cnudging and behaviour change\u201d. From the study;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Nudging and behavioural change<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Changes in lifestyle and consumer behaviour can reduce 40-70% of greenhouse gas emissions by 2050<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s44168-025-00252-3#ref-CR13\">13<\/a><\/sup>. Leveraging AI towards supporting more sustainable consumption patterns is important to enable a systemic shift. In the context of increasing global resource consumption (projected to go up 60% by 2060<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s44168-025-00252-3#ref-CR23\">23<\/a><\/sup>), optimisation of production will not be enough; demand must also adapt by promoting more sustainable lifestyles, conscious consumption and reducing overall environmental impact. However, despite growing awareness and willingness to act, consumers often struggle to identify the most climate-friendly options due to information asymmetry and inefficient market signals. Personalised recommendations can empower consumers to adopt low-carbon technologies by suggesting options that align with their needs while minimising their environmental impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The potential for AI to overcome psychological barriers and tailor interventions is also shown by examples in specific sectors.<\/strong>&nbsp;In the power sector, energy management is a key area where AI effectively drives sustainable consumer behaviour. Google\u2019s Nest uses sensors, smart home systems, and AI-driven learning to optimise heating and cooling based on real-time weather and user preferences<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s44168-025-00252-3#ref-CR24\">24<\/a><\/sup>.

By channelling complex data into clear, personalised recommendations,&nbsp;<strong>it helps to overcome cognitive limitations that hinder pro-environmental behaviour.<\/strong>&nbsp;The potential of technologies of this type is huge, as&nbsp;<strong>lowering thermostats by just 1 degree could save UK households \u00a3670 million annually<\/strong>&nbsp;and reduce CO<sub>2<\/sub>&nbsp;emissions by 3.5 million tonnes<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s44168-025-00252-3#ref-CR26\">26<\/a><\/sup>. \u2026Read more:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s44168-025-00252-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">same study as above<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This theme is reinforced in the \u201cModelling climate systems and policy interventions\u201d section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2026 AI models can also be applied to better design and implement policies for climate action, by generating insights and predictions around complex climate policy scenarios or monitoring the effectiveness of policy implementation. The Climate Policy Radar, for example, uses AI to create open-source tools that assist governments in designing best-practice climate policies based on evidence from thousands of case studies<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s44168-025-00252-3#ref-CR30\">30<\/a><\/sup>. A recent study used Machine Learning to analyse roughly 1500 climate policies implemented between 1998 and 2022 across 41 countries, to identify those that were able to reduce carbon emissions most effectively<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s44168-025-00252-3#ref-CR31\">31<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore,&nbsp;<strong>AI can also contribute to developing new economic models that include \u201cBeyond GDP\u201d metrics<\/strong>&nbsp;(for a comprehensive review see Jansen et al.<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s44168-025-00252-3#ref-CR32\">32<\/a><\/sup>). Policymaking has long focused on economic growth as measured by gross domestic product (GDP), diverting attention from other societal goals, such as sustainability, personal well-being and equality. Thanks to the ability of processing large and diverse types of datasets and running complex modelling tools,&nbsp;<strong>AI can help integrate \u201cBeyond GDP\u201d metrics into current macro-economic models.<\/strong>&nbsp;This could facilitate policymakers in making informed decisions that are directed towards shaping a sustainable and inclusive future. \u2026Read more:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s44168-025-00252-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">same study as above<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To be fair, the examples the researchers gave were positive, about Winnow Vision\u2019s cameras helping commercial chefs to increase profits by reducing waste, and helping commuters find better routes to their destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AI has the potential to help as much as it hinders regard to personal freedom \u2013 AI powered research tools could penetrate the fog of lies and help provide access to reliable information. This freedom AI concept at least has the potential to preserve the current status quo, if not improve consumer knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, the central premise of the study, that AI has the potential to reduce emissions, seems utterly nonsensical given all the power plants which are springing up in response to the AI boom.
