#Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science that enables machines to learn to perform autonomous tasks and make decisions. In renewable energy, AI optimises the use of resources such as wind and sun, adjusting systems in real time to maximise efficiency, reduce waste and ensure constant and sustainable supply.

The application of big data to curb global warming and protect the environment is known as green data. This technology can help optimise the efficiency of the energy sector, make businesses more sustainable and create smart cities, among others.
Artificial intelligence has long since abandoned the realm of science fiction and is quietly sneaking into our lives. Although still at a very early stage, is laying the foundation to lead a revolution comparable to that generated by the Internet. Its applications in multiple sectors — such as health, finance, transport and education, among others — have prompted the European Union to develop its own Robotics Laws.

Drones that monitor hundreds of acres to assess the health of crops and animals, smart sensors to help in the early detection of infestations, and automatic systems that water, fertilise and fumigate each plot depending on its specific characteristics and on the weather forecast. These are just some of the virtues of smart farming - the concept that may help to eradicate hunger in an over-populated future.
Wind turbines, engines or cranes can have a virtual replica that enables to prevent possible problems or risks and to experiment without compromising their operation before implementing new functionalities. It is not science fiction, they are digital twins, a disruptive technology that will be vital in the rise and progression of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

More than 75 billion devices are connected to the Internet of Things — IoT — and this figure is set to triple in just three years. Objects will become smart and the world will undergo a fourth industrial revolution.
Industry 4.0 is the origin of a new revolution — the much-hailed Fourth Industrial Revolution — a fusion of leading-edge production techniques and smart systems that integrate with organisations and people. Come with us on a journey through the technologies driving this process and its accelerating advance.
