Artificial Intelligence and Sustainable Finance

Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a pivotal role in advancing both economic and climate change research. Through the application of Natural Language Processing (NLP)—an AI technology that interprets and analyzes human language—we can efficiently extract insights from vast datasets, enabling more informed decision-making in sustainability and finance.
 
“Artificial Intelligence and Sustainable Finance” is a core research area within the Initiative of Sustainable Finance at the Department of Finance, University of Zurich.
 
Prof. Markus Leippold and his team lead the Sustainable and Resilient Economy AI Lab (SUREAL), an interdisciplinary research lab dedicated to bridging academic rigor with real-world impact. Their research addresses key economic-environmental challenges, develops innovative AI tools, and empowers stakeholders through capacity building.
