OpenAI (2026) assisted

This section lists background research materials generated with the assistance of trained ChatGPT 5.6 agents. The credited reports were produced across multiple machine-learning sessions and subsequently reviewed by the artists. Their references and hyperlinks were also audited through cross-agent verification. Nevertheless, these materials should be treated as provisional research resources rather than definitive scholarly publications, and should be read critically. One of the archive’s subversive aims is to explore how AI agents might be trained to assist societies in adapting to climate catastrophe and in developing strategies for confronting its consequences. Since January 2026, the present agent has been trained to support the structural, conceptual and editorial development of The Sunshine Find, drawing wherever possible on academic and peer-reviewed sources. Throughout the project, it has been used to address technical problems, improve the organisation and consistency of the archive, extract and generate metadata, and conduct directed and supervised background research. It has not been used to generate the project’s artistic concepts or creative content.
