AI can address global challenges like climate change and poverty reduction as follows:
1.) For climate change:
a.) AI models can provide us with the pattern of weather and help us in disaster prevention or management.
b.)AI models can track the environment and help in getting the data for deforestation and provide us with animal data so as to make policies to protect them.
c.)With the help of AI we can enhance the renewable sources of energy.
d.)AI is being used to help companies in the metal and mining, oil, and gas industries to decarbonize their operations.AI then analyzes this data to help companiestrack and reduce by 20-30%.
2.)For poverty reduction:
a.)With AI learning something is easier, people get personalised recommendations for their material.
b.)AI can match job seekers with suitable employment opportunities and provide personalised training programs to bridge skill gaps, helping them be independent.
c.)AI can assist farmers in increasing crop yields through precision agriculture, which uses data on weather, soil, and crop conditions to optimize planting and harvesting times. This can lead to more efficient use of resources and higher productivity.

Oceans are essential in controlling climate since they are responsible for the movements of heat and nutrients both regionally and globally. They are caused by winds at the ocean surface which facilitate the movement of warm water polewards and cold water towards the tropics to regulate global climate. This process is known as thermohaline circulation and this is important in regulating temperature on the global level.
There are also warm currents such as the Gulf Stream which increases temperatures near coastal waters than inland areas of similar latitude. On the other hand, cold currents like the California current lower temperatures along the coasts resulting in cooler and stable climate conditions.
ocean currents regulate weather conditions by having an impact on formation and dynamics of storms and precipitation. For instance, the El Niño and La Niña features, which are frontal systems on the Pacific currents, directly affect the climate and cause droughts, floods, and changes in seasonal temperatures.
Currents also carry nutrients that help sustain organisms in the seas and this affects the carbon flow in the ecosystem. Thus, phytoplankton, the primary producers and the first trophic level of the marine ecosystem remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as they take in nutrients during photosynthesis. Some of this carbon is taken to the ocean bottom to contribute in maintaining CO2 balance in the atmosphere and therefore climate change.
