Weather Events on Sustainable Production
- Authors: Derrick Effah, Chunguang Bai, and Matthew Quayson
- Abstract summary: unpredictability of extreme weather endangers sustainable production and life on land.
Modern technologies such as Artificial Intelligent (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, 3D printing, and virtual and augmented reality (VR and AR) are promising to reduce the risk and impact of extreme weather.
However, research directions on how these technologies could help reduce the impact of extreme weather are unclear.

- Abstract: Frequent occurrences of extreme weather events substantially impact the lives
of the less privileged in our societies, particularly in agriculture-inclined
economies. The unpredictability of extreme fires, floods, drought, cyclones,
and others endangers sustainable production and life on land (SDG goal 15),
which translates into food insecurity and poorer populations. Fortunately,
modern technologies such as Artificial Intelligent (AI), the Internet of Things
(IoT), blockchain, 3D printing, and virtual and augmented reality (VR and AR)
are promising to reduce the risk and impact of extreme weather in our
societies. However, research directions on how these technologies could help
reduce the impact of extreme weather are unclear. This makes it challenging to
emploring digital technologies within the spheres of extreme weather. In this
paper, we employed the Delphi Best Worst method and Machine learning approaches
to identify and assess the push factors of technology. The BWM evaluation
revealed that predictive nature was AI's most important criterion and role,
while the mass-market potential was the less important criterion. Based on this
outcome, we tested the predictive ability of machine elarning on a publilcly
available dataset to affrm the predictive rols of AI. We presented the
managerial and methodological implications of the study, which are crucial for
research and practice. The methodology utilized in this study could aid
decision-makers in devising strategies and interventions to safeguard
sustainable production. This will also facilitate allocating scarce resources
and investment in improving AI techniques to reduce the adverse impacts of
extreme events. Correspondingly, we put forward the limitations of this, which
necessitate future research.

We describe risks that include large-scale social harms, malicious uses, and irreversible loss of human control over autonomous AI systems.
There is a lack of consensus about how exactly such risks arise, and how to manage them.
Present governance initiatives lack the mechanisms and institutions to prevent misuse and recklessness, and barely address autonomous systems.

Artificial Intelligence [67.70415658080121]
Recent advances in machine learning and AI are disrupting technological innovation, product development, and society as a whole.
AI has contributed less to fundamental science in part because large data sets of high-quality data for scientific practice and model discovery are more difficult to access.
Here we explore and investigate aspects of an AI-driven, automated, closed-loop approach to scientific discovery.
