CLAIM: Center for Climate Leadership and AI-driven Integrity in Mitigation

The Data-Driven EnviroLab has received a planning grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to bring together collaborators to design a new center aimed at bolstering the integrity of climate commitments in the age of generative AI and its role in proliferating misinformation, disinformation and greenwashing.

The new Center for Climate Leadership and AI-driven Integrity in Mitigation (CLAIM) will investigate the societal, regulatory and governance implications of generative AI as it relates to private sector climate commitments. It has three goals:

• Rigorously test and evaluate generative AI, large-language models and machine-learning models to address misinformation, disinformation and greenwashing. T
• Design metrics and benchmarks that can be used to evaluate the accuracy and credibility of generative AI information related to climate commitments.
• Investigate the societal impacts of generative AI on corporate climate behaviors and actions.
