Session Title



Workshop: How Can Large Language Models and Chat Tools Help Communities
Find, Access, Understand, and Act Upon Air Quality Information?



Session Description



The ESIP Air Quality Cluster is prototyping a Community Air Quality Toolkit
to help communities jumpstart efforts to address their air quality
concerns. The Cluster has identified available information resources,
questions community members ask, and micro-use-cases. With current
excitement about Large Language Models and chatbot tools, we see potential
to apply these capabilities to the AQ domain.



This session will be a workshop format, with small groups trying out
example community questions and AI resources. We aim to identify what
works, what doesn’t work, issues, and opportunities for further progress.
Groups will report out on their experiences and we will synthesize a short
report with conclusions and highlights of areas that need further work.



We hypothesize that the new AI capabilities can play an important role in
opening doors to open AQ science that may be difficult otherwise for
communities to find, access, and use.



Session Purpose



ESIP has supported the work of the AQ Cluster for years. We believe there
are compelling new opportunities to demonstrate how the emerging AI
technologies can help communities. This workshop can help accelerate
informed adoption that leads to better public health.



Outcomes/Goals



We aim to tap into the collective brainpower of participants to try out a
set of tools and document our findings. We will report out on what we
discovered in the interactive groups and make recommendations for further
work to capitalize on the emerging capabilities while avoiding pitfalls. We
expect participants to gain new insights into using LLM/Chatbots in an
important environmental science domain.
