System Inc. is now including data related to the environment and #climatechange in their large-scale, #AI-powered graph. Read about the new vertical from CEO Adam Bly below.
Today we are taking the first, very exciting step toward scaling System beyond health with the addition of preliminary data about climate change and the environment! Climate change is the single greatest driver of complexity in the world — impacting virtually everything in some way, from migration to food security, infectious diseases to housing prices. Our aim is to use AI to represent this dynamic system accurately and comprehensively to help you understand, simulate, analyze, model, and predict its effects better, surface new solutions, and help make the case for investments and interventions. We'd love to hear from you if you're interested in the relationship between health and climate, the systemic effects of climate change, or the application of AI to tackle climate change.
