In addition to monitoring airborne problems, AI can also reduce the harmful emissions it pumps into the

One place to start is with transportation. AI makesmakes autonomous cars possible and helps them navigate

usually fewer cars on the roads. AI-enabled traffic lightslights also play their part, adjusting traffic flow to reduce
driving time.
