Climebot: an argumentative agent for climate change

While climate experts have agreed that global warming is real, this consensus has not reached all the society levels. Our aim is to develop a conversational agent able to explain issues related to global warming. The developed chatbot relies on textual entailment to identify the best answer for a statement conveyed by a human agent. To enhance the conversational capabilities we employed the technical instrumentation provided by the API. AI framework. To exploit domain knowledge, the agent uses climate change ontologies converted into a adequate format for the API. AI model. Hence, we developed a Climebot, that is an argumentative agent for climate change based on ontologies and textual entailment.
