Humans are intelligent They can think and make decisions They can naturally recognize sounds objects around them etc and do things such as Make plans Play games See things and people Hear and understand sounds Read books Have conversations 2

Machines on the other hand can be made smart by adding some intelligence to them to do specific tasks In this book we learn how machines that are made intelligent using Artificial Intelligence AI can help us protect the earth 3

How can we help our Earth Reduce Climate Change Add solar panels to your house Solar energy is free Solar panels collect sunlight and turn it into electricity even on cloudy days Reduce your water waste It takes a lot of energy to pump heat and treat the water you use Hence saving water will reduce carbon pollution So take shorter showers turn off the tap while brushing your teeth and wash clothes together in bulk 8

How can we help our Earth Reduce Climate Change Recycle We can take old trash and make it into something new We can recycle glass bottles aluminum cans plastic bags and paper Reduce food waste Food waste releases methane gas when it decomposes which is very harmful to the environment When food wastage is reduced we can help the environment save money and also help people in need 9

How can we help our Earth Conservation Reduce reuse and recycle Cut down on what you throw away Choose sustainable food options Reduce your intake of meat and seafood Fishing and animal husbandry are a big cause of global warming 10

Plant a lot of trees Trees provide food and oxygen They give us oxygen to breathe keep the air clean and help combat climate change Switch to electric or hybrid vehicles and start carpooling This will help reduce vehicle pollution 11

Let s look at how AI helps farmers detect Plant Disease Farmers can use an AI App which identifies the disease and provides the best ways to manage it 14

The app can be installed on a farmer s smartphone to easily identify the plant and its disease It can also be installed on a drone to scan the entire field and increase coverage when inspecting the area 15

Let s look at how AI helps tackle climate change AI helps to develop new ways to generate energy like managing solar power AI can process information like tweets and help us better manage environmental disasters AI can track wildfires and other environmental problems and help us avoid and prevent them 18

Let s look at how AI helps tackle climate change With AI we can better understand where pollution occurs how it is evolving and what the causes are AI can study climate patterns such as how weather patterns are changing and notify us Example AI can analyze satellite images and see if land patterns are changing It can also find out whether erosion patterns in the mountains are changing as the climate changes 19

Let s see how AI can help Recycling Recycling can be a tedious task AMP Robotics is an artificial intelligence and robotics company that decided to change the way we recycle AMP Neuron is a robot that uses AI and computer vision to identify commonly found recyclable materials in garbage center conveyer belts Once identified and cataloged the AMP Robotic systems can then remove the specific piece of material from the conveyor system and place it into the appropriate recycling bin 22

Let s see how AI can help Recycling There are AIpowered apps available today that can identify waste from images AI robots may even be able to identify symbols of specific brands 23
