CT0043: Understanding the intersections of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and climate change, with Yazid Mikail

Climate Talk Podcast

Yazid Mikail, a climate policy expert and Founder, Nest Africa AI Innovation Lab, sits with Seyifunmi Adebote, Host, Climate Talk Podcast, to unpack the fascinating intersection between Artificial Intelligence and climate change.

Together, they explore how AI tools can help predict weather patterns, empower farmers, and track environmental changes — all while discussing the ethical concerns, data accuracy issues, and misconceptions around AI’s role in climate action.

From practical examples in Africa to global reflections on AI’s potential and pitfalls, this episode offers both inspiration and clarity on how technology can (and can’t) help us tackle the climate crisis.

You will find answers to some tough questions, such as:

• 1. Can we really trust AI to help us navigate the climate crisis?

• 2. Is AI making us lazy thinkers and replacing the uniqueness of critical human thinking?

• 3. How can developing countries ethically and effectively use, build, and transform AI for climate change?
