renewable energy, and creating valuable bioproducts, contributing to a more sustainable
future.
3) Open AI platform enables global data sharing and collaborative research
An open AI platform for global data sharing and collaborative research represents a
game-changing approach to addressing the challenges of polar monitoring and climate
change. By enabling real-time collaboration, democratizing access to advanced tools,
and fostering interdisciplinary research, such platforms accelerate scientific discovery
and empower decision-makers with actionable insights. As climate challenges become
more urgent, open AI platforms will play an increasingly vital role in uniting the global
community to protect Earth's most fragile ecosystems.
4) ESG Institute Collaboration: Leveraging resources from The Education University of
Hong Kong to develop "AI+ESG" educational courses and policy toolkits, empowering
corporate green transformation.
5) Cross-Domain Expansion: Applying polar technologies to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-
Macau Greater Bay Area urban clusters, supporting smart water management and low-
carbon community development.

2�2 Benefits of use case

The integration of AI and LLMs (e.g., machine learning models, climate-specific AI models,
and large language models) offers transformative potential for polar monitoring and early
warning systems. These technologies address many of the limitations of traditional methods
by enhancing data collection, analysis, and prediction capabilities. Key benefits include:

1) Remote Sensing and Autonomous Systems
AI can enhance the capabilities of remote sensing technologies (e.g., satellites, drones,
and autonomous underwater vehicles) by automating data collection, image analysis, and
anomaly detection.
Autonomous systems, equipped with AI, can operate in harsh polar conditions without
human intervention, collecting high-resolution data at lower costs.
2) Improved Data Integration and Analysis
AI can process and integrate vast amounts of heterogeneous data, including satellite
imagery, sensor data, historical records, and real-time observations, which would be
impossible for humans to analyze manually.
Machine learning models can identify patterns, trends, and anomalies that may not be
apparent through traditional statistical methods.
3) Cost Efficiency and Scalability
AI-driven monitoring systems reduce reliance on expensive field expeditions by
maximizing the utility of remote sensing and automated data collection.
Once developed, AI models can be scaled to monitor large areas of the polar regions
without a proportional increase in costs.
4) Real-Time Monitoring
AI systems can analyze data in real-time, enabling faster detection of critical changes, such
as sudden ice shelf collapses or new cracks in glaciers.
5) Early Warning
Early warning systems powered by AI can provide actionable insights to governments,
researchers, and communities, allowing for timely responses to potential disasters.
6) Scenario Simulation and Decision Support
Large models can simulate a wide range of scenarios, helping policymakers and
researchers understand the potential impacts of specific events (e.g., ice sheet collapse
or methane release) and make informed decisions.
