Abstract

This research aims to identify the impacts of applying artificial intelligence (AI) technologies on climate change. It seeks to answer the central question: Is there an impact of modern technologies on studying and tracking climate change in Najaf Governorate over the past ten years? The research employs a descriptive approach to analyzing the problem, collecting theoretical data from library sources and data through a questionnaire distributed to 100 employees from the directorates of agriculture and environment. Eighty questionnaires were deemed valid for analysis. The results of the sample were analyzed to test the hypotheses, the most important of which was: (There is a statistically significant impact of AI technology on climate change). The research recommends several measures, including: the necessity of adopting AI technologies for monitoring desertification, developing water-efficient smart agriculture, and predicting dust storms, as well as the need to support local university research on climate change.
