AI Climate Models: Bias in the Simulation Itself
Ahead of the COP39 climate summit in November 2026, Lucas and Luna dig into a quiet but high-stakes corner of AI ethics: the simulation models governments use to set carbon budgets and adaptation policy. They focus on the ACCESS-OM2 ocean model and the CMIP6 ensemble, showing how a 2014 training-data quirk — a small patch of missing Atlantic salinity — silently skewed sea-level projections for the North Atlantic coast. They trace the same structural bias into AI downscaling tools like the popular CORDEX-derived neural networks, which extrapolate where they have no data, and ask whether a…
