AI's Role in Developing Environmentally Safe Refrigerants: Positive Ethical Considerations

The imperative to mitigate climate change has spurred a global search for environmentally safe alternatives to traditional refrigerants, which are notorious for their high global warming potential (GWP). Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a potent tool in this endeavor, offering the potential to accelerate the discovery and implementation of sustainable refrigerants. This essay explores the ways AI can assist in developing an environmentally safe air conditioning refrigerant list, focusing on the positive ethical considerations that underpin this application.
