AI and open climate data: new learning initiative

[Lucas Pretti]

Dear Open Data Day community,

Are any of you working on a project involving climate data and AI? Or any educational context involving AI?

I'm asking because I wanted to invite you all to take part in the first public iteration of the AI Learning Labs, our main project at the Open Knowledge Foundation (OKFN). Next week, we will start the exploration of how to build an AI chatbot that is responsible and trustworthy in relation to climate data.

It is a genuine ‘learning by doing' initiative, and all resources produced will be translated and openly available for reuse.

Here is the practical information:

• How to create a responsible climate chatbot? - Online Roundtable
• Monday, 18 May 2026
• 12:00 – 14:00 UTC
• Registration link: https://okfn.org/ai-climate/ 

I am also sharing some other materials for context:

• AI Learning Labs landing page
• Launch interview with Renata Avila and Solana Larsen
• Text introducing the Climate lab

We’re also trying to create space for discussions on the Forum, so please feel free to post there as well.

We look forward to seeing you next week!

Warm wishes,

--
