How to Create Responsible and Trustworthy Climate Chatbot

Climate misinformation is becoming more common across digital platforms and AI systems. As AI chatbots are increasingly used for accessing information, it is important to build climate chatbots that are transparent, reliable, and based on trusted knowledge sources.

Welcome to the AI Learning Labs discussion on building responsible and trustworthy climate chatbots, jointly organized by Open Knowledge Foundation, #semanticClimate and The Climate Academy.

This interactive session will bring together researchers, developers, educators, and practitioners working at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and climate knowledge systems. The event focuses on how AI tools can support reliable climate communication while addressing challenges such as misinformation, bias, transparency, and trust.
