Startup deploys generative AI to close "climate skills gap" at big companies

• This allows them to interact with complex climate information in a more seamless way by asking plain language questions and receiving easy-to-understand answers.

Zoom in: The technology allows researchers at, say, an insurance company to ask questions about climate peril risks, damage and loss, and economic impacts of companies they protect.

• The generative AI component does the behind-the-scenes coding to produce the results as well as make suggestions for other related queries.
• Jupiter Intelligence CEO Rich Sorkin tells Axios the approach is to use AI as a "force multiplier" to "close the climate skills gap" that exists at many companies.

The bottom line: The new capability demonstrates how generative AI is being integrated into the climate risk analytics space, which has become an increasingly crowded business sector in recent years.
