Need help digging through environmental, social, and governance data for key insight, trends, or just information about where a company stands on its climate pledges? What about identifying the climate resilience of building projects? Or the climate impact of critical mineral supply chains? Turns out the World Bank has an artificial intelligence tool for that.
While the world of artificial intelligence is changing fast, and the emergence of generative AI in the past couple of years has changed the landscape, the technology is not new for the World Bank, which has been using it for years, Harry Daniel Lersch, an AI strategist at the World Bank, told Devex.
Generative AI — think ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, or AI that can create new data content — emerged about two years ago and has been a “game changer,” he said, presenting “a very big opportunity with vast potential.”
