AI pioneers reveal details for 16 Environmental Projects - fire fighting, sewage treatment, predicting water pollution, predicting toxic algae blooms, etc. and show sustainability is possible. A global community of 60 scientists, engineers and AI researchers. contribute to the volume. Inside are ‘Boots on the Ground’ topics including fire fighting, forestry sustainability, flood prediction, toxic algae bloom prediction, water pollution prediction, sewage treatment, recycling and resource consumption. There are also ‘Data, Data Everywhere’ topics including biodiversity cataloguing, plant physiology and climate modeling, forest ecosystem modelling, satellite data aggregation and viewing and weather forecasting. The contributions of each team of scientists, AI researchers and engineers has been assembled with a set of helpful questions and answers called “Classroom Connection” at the end of each chapter, and gives an easy understanding of the material. The existence of this book serves to document existing AI projects and some of the people who have been actively working to create sustainability using AI. Inside you’ll find many examples of hybrid AI - systems so complex, they need every AI trick in the book to solve them, and then some.The book is presented at the 2019 U.N. Climate Summit in Madrid Spain. Forward by National Geographic explorer Tierney Thys. "Artificial Intelligence and the Environment" is an AI inspiration for educators, scientists, students, administrators and engineers working to create a sustainable future." Time Foresman, Former Chief Environmental Scientist, United Nations "Created by a global community of scientists, AI researchers and engineers, Artificial Intelligence and The Environment, is an AI inspiration for educators, scientists, administrators and engineers working to create a sustainable future." Tim Foresman, Former Chief Environmental Scientist, U.N. "The book shows what environmental hackers, AI pioneers and data can teach us about solving Environmental problems." Curt Hall, Senior Advisor, Cutter Consortium Dr. Mason has won multiple awards for her work including from the AAAI and National Research Council. Dr. Mason is one of the few people have pioneered solutions in multiple fields including earth science, medicine and artificial intelligence. At Livermore Laboratory, Dr. Mason created the first software agents to verify nuclear treaties. At NASA, she created AI technology to support a new way of monitoring variable stars with a Global Network of Automatic Telescopes. She was also on the robotics team that sent the first teleoperated undersea robot to Antarctica. Her work at Stanford Hospital using emotion centered patient therapies reduced hospital stays for stem cell transplant patients by 50%. Most recently she is credited with pioneering Artificial Compassion. She has been a research scientist at NASA, Stanford and UC Berkeley. Her most recent position was Asst Chair Philosophy and Technology at the Berkeley Institute for Soft Computing. She is credited with starting the first computer science department in the Australian Outback with Anna Lichtenberg.
