Climate Dialogues at Scale

As Montreal, Canada faces the impacts of climate change, local nonprofit Institut du Nouveau Monde (INM) is recording climate dialogues to gather citizen perspectives on how to act.

However, creating an inclusive dialogue involves producing a volume of audio, video, and transcript text that is difficult to make sense of using traditional means.

Jean-Noé Landry of Transition en Commun—an alliance of citizen groups, civil society organizations, and the City of Montreal—is partnering with INM to explore how artificial intelligence and emerging technologies can be used to organize and interpret these dialogues. The Global Change Program will support INM’s efforts to process these conversations by linking INM’s efforts to Incite’s own expertise in artificial intelligence and narratives.

This collaboration will contribute to a better understanding of citizen perspectives on climate transition in Montreal and spark conversations around the possibilities and limitations of artificial intelligence in civic-led initiatives.
