The National Science Foundation Office of International Science and Engineering awarded a $200,000 Project Grant to the University of Chicago to develop responsible artificial intelligence systems to support effective climate change policymaking through 2026.
Funded under the CFDA 47.079 International Science and Engineering program, this collaborative research between U.S. and Australian researchers aims to bridge information gaps between publicly available climate change data and actionable policy insights. Key deliverables include a large-scale dataset of climate change information from legislative texts and news articles, as well as AI prototypes to summarize information and explain policy outcomes. The research also seeks to understand which AI-assisted tasks users find valuable to inform the development of these responsible AI systems and promote public awareness of effective climate policies.
