Putting AI to Work for the Climate – Dr. Stephanie Hare, Researcher, Broadcaster and Author

Electric Ladies Podcast

“Many countries are looking to lead on AI and embed it in as many aspects of our lives as possible. But right now we do not have an electricity grid that is built for this purpose. We also need to think about the fuel needed to power up this grid.”

Dr. Stephanie Hare on Electric Ladies Podcast

We’re putting artificial intelligence (AI) to work for a variety of our problems on a daily basis -including climate change. How? In more ways than you might think, though it’s the amount of electricity, water and fuel it requires that raises tough questions.

Listen to Dr. Stephanie Hare, a researcher focused on the intersection of politics, technology and history, on Electric Ladies Podcast in an in-depth conversation with host Joan Michelson. Stephanie is also the author of “Technology Is Not Neutral” and co-presents “Artificial Intelligence: Decoded” on the BBC. Join us as we explore the promise and pitfalls of AI as a tool to mitigate climate change and increase equity.

You’ll hear about:

• The hurdles and opportunities of using AI.
• Why environmental, social, and governance (ESG) data needs to be treated as a valuable resource.
• How we can ensure that AI is fair, accessible, and inclusive for everyone.
• Plus, career advice for being open to great opportunities.

“Look at the problems you most enjoy solving, because the world is never going to be short of it. Stay open, nimble, curious, and flexible – and people will recognize that problem solver spirit in you.”
