A white paper shows artificial intelligence (AI) applications will help China cut down over 35 billion tonnes of carbon emission by 2060, the year the nation pledged to achieve the goal of carbon neutrality. At least 70 percent of China’s carbon reductions will involve AI-related technologies by 2060.
The white paper was jointly released on Monday by research firm International Data Corporation (IDC) and Chinese tech company Baidu which has greatly dived into AI technology in recent years. Carbon neutrality is set to be fueled by heavy technology involvement, according to the report. Communications infrastructures will help the deployment of AI technology in different sectors, it said.
