Hello (Precious) World!
Welcome to the Enterprise Neurosystem Blog. In this first post, we’ll provide some information about our non-profit open source climate change research community to explain its mission, participants and point to some early — and some strategic — activities.
Founded on the principle that all living species and ecosystems on the planet are part of a single system, the Enterprise Neurosystem is creating a single global sensor and interconnect network that will integrate all climate-related data from a myriad of projects and sources. Artificial intelligence (AI) will be applied to search for and determine deeper causes and conditions, which in turn will uncover and present new solutions for restoring balance to our environment.
The Enterprise Neurosystem currently comprises around 190 participants from more than 30 companies and academic institutions who contribute their expertise and time to this endeavor. Volunteers include experts from organizations, such as Red Hat, Stanford SLAC, UC Berkeley, EY, IBM Research, Intel, Meta, Seagate, Verizon and Yahoo!.
Importantly, the Enterprise Neurosystem aligns and partners with other organizations with a climate change focus, including AIM for Climate and the United Nations UNFCCC TEC and CTCN projects.
In 2023, working with AIM for Climate, the Enterprise Neurosystem hosted a competition focused on accelerating climate-related innovation, dubbed the AIM for Climate Grand Challenge: Leveraging the Power of AI and Machine-Learning.
Currently, the Enterprise Neurosystem is working with the UN FCCC on a new AI Innovation Grand Challenge competition that will result in a winner being announced at the COP 29 meeting this November.
For the Enterprise Neurosystem, these competitions do more than drive innovation and increase the visibility of AI solutions for climate change. They will also contribute valuable open-source applications to a planned AI Climate Action Hub, which can be leveraged by researchers and innovators globally. That underpins an Enterprise Neurosystem mission to democratize development of and access to AI tools that can directly impact the adaptation and mitigation of climate change globally.
The Enterprise Neurosystem believes that humanity needs to draw closer to nature, not create more distance from it. So it will intertwine its sensor network with nature itself — creating what might be termed an Internet of Nature — and observe thousands of species, such as bees, mycorrhizal fungi and mussels, to better understand mankind’s effect on the planet.
As it is built out, the Enterprise Neurosystem network will act as an early warning system — including monitoring crops, drought conditions, air pollution, ocean temperatures and other impacts of climate change.
When merged with existing climate satellites, and atmospheric, seismic and oceanic sensors, this collectively enables a global AI network to monitor the planet’s health, and rapidly deliver course-correction recommendations.
All this innovation will be accomplished as a carbon neutral, non-profit open source architecture, to best accommodate the frictionless and multinational participation that is imperative to address the existential risk that climate change presents today.
