Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being used to help tackle climate change, from optimizing electrical grids to emulating climate models and monitoring biodiversity. As such applications grow, however, it is becoming clear that high-powered AI tools often fall short. Methods designed using standard benchmarks may fail to capture the constraints or objectives of specific real-world problems while a “one size fits all” approach ignores information that can be leveraged in specific use cases.

Our message is to uphold human rights and stand against the fascist Trump administration. The protest will start at 3pm, with speeches from local activists, leaders, and impacted individuals at 3:30pm.
The first #50501 protests were a decentralized rapid response to the anti-democratic and illegal actions of the Trump administration and its plutocratic allies. The idea — 50 protests in 50 states on 1 day — was born on r/50501 and spread rapidly on social media.
