Climate change and climate protection is a topic much discussed from different aspects. And it’s something that already affects us today and will become even more pressing in future.
In this episode, we go brain-to-brain with Charlotte Lange. She loves nature and wants to protect it. For this, she uses a tool that is also often discussed, but mostly in different contexts. She’s doing research and working on projects that connect climate models with deep neural networks, a form of AI, and wants to use the tools offered by technology to play her role in preserving nature.
