We are in the middle of an artificial intelligence boom, but we must use it wisely. While there are huge opportunities to address climate and sustainability challenges (in terms of circularity, monitoring and managing the grid, carbon management, efficiency, new materials creation and more) there are challenges in the impact on labour, growth in energy demand and the acceleration of extractive industries. In this week's episode, Felicia Jackson interviews Tamara Kneese, Ph.D., a senior researcher and project director at Data & Society Research Institute's Algorithmic Impact Methods Lab. The discussion highlights the complex challenges in realising AI's potential benefits while addressing its significant downsides, especially when it comes to environmental sustainability.
