The Bank for International Settlements have broken new ground by using artificial intelligence to collect data for assessing climate-related financial risks.
Their experimental Gaia AI project was used to analyse company disclosures on carbon emissions, green bond issuance and voluntary net-zero commitments.
Gaia was able to overcome differences in definitions and disclosure frameworks across jurisdictions to offer much-needed transparency.
Also, this makes it easier to compare indicators on climate-related financial risks.
