Achieving earthly emissions reductions goals will hinge upon the extraterrestrial capabilities of artificial intelligence technologies that are taking precision measurements from space, according to former Vice President Al Gore Albert (Al) Arnold GoreAl Gore: Emissions reductions hinge on AI measurements from space The Hill's Morning Report - Presented by Altria - Biden unleashes on Trump and GOP A presidential candidate pledge can right the wrongs of an infamous day MORE. “All of the emissions data at present derives from one single source and that is the self-reports by some countries, the so-called Annex I Countries,” Gore added, referring to a United Nations categorization of developed countries. “We haven't had until now the measurements necessary to really manage greenhouse gas pollution.”ADVERTISEMENTThat level of precision, according to Gore, will enable governments to optimize their national strategies for emissions reductions. Looking back at his own experience establishing the International Space Station with Russian partners, Gore likewise stressed the importance of collaboration among countries. But Maurer, too, cautioned that as more rockets emerge from Earth into space, operators must be conscientious about the creation of space debris.
