In fact, recent studies show that 77% of devices currently being used feature some form of AI, and by 2030, AI is expected…
Source: Live Mint No model is perfect. Those modelling climate trends and impacts are forced to exclude many things, either because the underlying scientific processes are not yet understood or because representing them is too computationally costly. This results in significant uncertainty in the results of simulations, which comes with real-world consequences. Delegates’ main fight…
