As environmental disruptions, economic instability, and social vulnerabilities intensify, new tools are needed to understand and adapt to risk. This project explores the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in helping communities build resilience by modeling complex systems, identifying vulnerabilities, and informing decisions at local and regional levels.
Rather than proposing AI as a catch-all solution, the research focuses on responsible, context-aware applications that support—not replace—human judgment. It considers how AI can process environmental and socioeconomic data to guide planning, resource management, and emergency response, while also examining the limitations and ethical implications of its use.
By bridging technological innovation with grounded resilience strategies, this project aims to support practical, inclusive approaches to long-term sustainability in communities facing mounting pressures.
