KAMPALA, Uganda — Ugandan journalist Julius Kitone has developed an innovative AI-powered climate news aggregator, JuliKitAi (ECOEYE AI), to combat climate misinformation and provide accurate, real-time information to stakeholders.
The platform, designed for policymakers, researchers, businesses, and the general public, collects, curates, and presents climate-related news in a streamlined, accessible format. With applications in agriculture, innovation, technology, tourism, and water waste management, ECOEYE AI aims to empower decision-makers with the knowledge they need to address the climate crisis effectively.
At its core, JuliKitAi leverages natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning to track, analyze, and compile climate-related news. This enables users to receive real-time updates on climate science, policy changes, green initiatives, and environmental sustainability efforts worldwide.
“Misinformation is a major challenge in climate discourse,” Kitone explained. “ECOEYE AI filters through the noise, presenting only factual and up-to-date information to help stakeholders make sound decisions.”
The platform boasts several key features, including AI-driven news aggregation, cross-platform accessibility, personalized and multilingual experiences, verified and transparent information, engaging and interactive content, sustainability-centric development, and climate education and policy advocacy.
As the climate emergency intensifies, the need for reliable, AI-driven climate intelligence becomes more critical than ever. JuliKitAi stands at the forefront of this movement, demonstrating how technology can be leveraged to combat misinformation and drive informed action.
“Knowledge is power, and JuliKitAi is here to ensure that power is in the right hands,” Kitone said.
