Given a migrant and a job on the Internet that he/she wishes to perform, the digital tools learn the sequence of micro-tasks best suited to help this individual develop the digital skills needed to complete the work. Since workers help each other to recommend which micro-tasks must be implemented to develop certain digital skills on the job (workers coach and train one another), the system uses this information to learn which types of tasks are more convenient for developing specific skills, and then recommends these tasks to other workers so they develop them and access better salaries. Up to now, the tools have helped training hundreds of workers in thousands of different digital tasks. This has also helped workers access better paid job opportunities (because they now have more specialized skills). The intelligent tools have been awarded honorable mentions in conferences and scientific journals such as the Conference on Human-Computer Interaction of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM CHI) and the World Wide Web (WWW).

There are approximately 500 million small and medium farmers around the world whose agricultural production equals 75% of the world´s total food supply. However, despite this fact, they only receive 25% of financial credits to agriculture. It is thought that demand will grow in the upcoming decades, whereby this industrial sector will be crucial for supplying food to the world.

There are approximately 500 million small and medium farmers around the world whose agricultural production equals 75% of the world´s total food supply. However, despite this fact, they only receive 25% of financial credits to agriculture. It is thought that demand will grow in the upcoming decades, whereby this industrial sector will be crucial for supplying food to the world. Financial institutions have several difficulties in assessing the risks of these companies, since traditional methods don´t have the tools to adequately measure real financial risks. For this reason, the interests on these loans have steeply increased by 30% or more. Traive provides a solution to this problem through the creation of a credit system that uses machine learning.

Kilimo assists agricultural producers to optimize water usage in their production process. By compiling field data and combining them with our big data from our historical collection, satellite images, machine learning and other processing and forecasting tools, our proprietary software provides: i) A 7-day estimate of crop water consumption ii) Periodic summarized advice for producers written in simple language about the required amount of water in every field to achieve their production goals iii) Risk-related information about irrigation for company intelligence

The research on climate change mitigation is paying more and more attention to cities, but we can learn more from urban case studies. The overall scale, geographical scope and subject matter of the case are still unclear, so few people try to synthesize bottom-up evidence. Here, we use scientific metrology and machine learning methods to generate a comprehensive document map. Our database contains about 4000 case studies, providing rich evidence for search, comparison and review. We found that the cities with the highest relevance for future emission reduction in all regions of the world are not representative enough. The evidence map allows case studies to be matched with urban typology in a new and more ambitious comprehensive form, combining the traditionally separate qualitative and quantitative urban studies.

Deforestation is one of the important factors that cause greenhouse gases and climate change. Most of the deforestation is caused by local farmers in order to make a living, which provides a possibility to fight deforestation by providing financial incentives to protect trees. In many regions, such as the Amazon forest, it is time-consuming and difficult to determine who has the legal right to become the guardian of the forest in a particular region. David Dao, an AI researcher, and his team proposed an innovative alternative: let everyone become the guardian of the forest, let everyone put their economic interests on the welfare of the forest, and get higher returns when the forest is protected. Through the AI technology on Microsoft Azure, including machine learning and smart contracts supported by blockchain, Dao can make the concept of GainForest a reality.

Then, they can share these data with cities, building managers and citizens to help understand and improve the internal and external air quality.

Imazon uses artificial intelligence and Microsoft Azure services to simulate the risk of deforestation and prevent the future loss of Amazon rainforest. Through a more powerful image processing forest model, PrevisiA can identify unofficial roads, which is one of the main indicators of future deforestation. It simulates future scenarios and stops them before forest fires and other rainforest loss events occur. The resulting risk maps, probability maps and dashboards can not only enable Imazon to predict future deforestation, but also create risk alerts and use AI to cover more areas in a wider range. In addition, Previsia opens its analysis results to the public and has accessible data visualization function, so people in all fields can easily find available information. Therefore, in addition to providing strategic data for public institutions that must protect forests, the tool also enables the public to participate in the protection of the Amazon rainforest.

Solomon Hsiang's team is applying AI to observe how climate change has affected immigrants across Africa in the past.
