Magazine: AI and sustainability briefing
The data dividend: How AI is super-charging sustainability
Artificial intelligence has taken the world by storm in the last few years, with the companies that are at its forefront the loudest to warn of the risks of letting the technology race ahead of human capacity to control it.
Used appropriately and wisely, however, AI-enabled technologies have the potential to help humans unlock solutions to the hugely complex challenges we face as we strive to avoid the most dangerous impacts of climate change and biodiversity loss.
In the latest issue of The Ethical Corporation magazine, we look at how AI and machine learning is already being applied in a wide range of sectors, from decarbonising heavy industry to fighting wildfires and protecting the oceans. Our journalists explore the opportunities afforded by the new technologies, as well as the limitations and challenges, including their voracious demand for power and water.
