Abstract

This study is the first to use the novel artificial intelligence tool, Bing Image Creator, to produce predictive imagery that clearly illustrates the catastrophic consequences of expected temperature changes in the Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima (TTA) region by the end of this century. Our objective is to bring these impacts closer to decision makers while evaluating the model's ability to produce relevant images in line with the region's unique social, economic, and natural characteristics. The results showed that the model faithfully reproduced these characteristics, providing both a comprehensive and alarming view of the potential economic and environmental losses due to the probable temperature increases projected in the TTA region.
