EQTY Lab, a new AI business, has launched what it claims the "first-ever" AI chatbot focused on providing accurate and certified climate data.
In contrast to worries about the accuracy of AI tools such as ChatGPT and Google's Bard, EQTY Lab claims that its open-source ClimateGPT service promotes "trust and transparency." The chatbot uses a robust framework coupled with Hedera, a public blockchain, to authenticate, secure, and control information, ensuring the "highest standards of data integrity."
The chatbot, created by Dutch startup Erasmus.AI, is said to be available in 20 languages and is totally powered by renewable energy. Despite these claims, a practical test of ClimateGPT's capabilities produced poor results, reflecting the technology's early development stage. Ariana Fowler, EQTY Lab's Head of Research, stated that the technology is "still evolving."
While ClimateGPT may currently have limited practical utility, the concept of instant access to credible climate data remains appealing to scholars and decision-makers. Even in its early phases, the chatbot provides sources to back up its answers, setting it apart from standard chatbots, which often do not have this functionality.
Looking ahead, if ClimateGPT scales well, it has the ability to handle a wide range of difficulties, from energy efficiency to wildfire monitoring, as part of a cadre of AI solutions working on varied challenges. Despite existing constraints, the goal of an AI-powered tool that provides secure and reliable climate data remains an appealing promise for the future.
