Thanks for this very informative article, Salvatory. As I discussed in my latest article about climate change, I think innovations like artificial intelligence and data mining are ways to buy some time (https://medium.com/predict/our-planet-adapt-and-overcome-caa1bd30fcf8).

However, besides the information regarding how AI could help, you also made clear that the basic conditions must be there so that the potential of AI can be unleashed. Like you, I see that the problem is not that we do not have solutions at hand. Instead, the problem is that we do not reach a situation where we start implementing the solution approaches. Sad but true, this does not only count for countries with corrupt regimes like Bolsonaro's Brasil. But in general, as long as people stray into the arms of pseudotransformational/toxic/destructive leaders, humanity has a massive problem (https://medium.com/@boris-karl-schlein/find-your-personal-leadership-style-b932a368f191).
