We are revisiting a conversation on Talking ESG that was originally recorded in September at NYC Climate Week to highlight our host and guest appearing together on The Atlantic's podcast, The Most Interesting Thing In A.I. In both episodes, they examine the intersection of two trending topics: AI and sustainability, discussing the environmental impact of AI and the balance between AI's benefits and its environmental footprint.
Listen in to this reissued episode in which Scott Likens, PwC Global Chief AI Engineer, and host Heather and Horn discuss:
- 3:17 – How AI is impacting sustainability
- 8:54 – Why AI and sustainability aren’t necessarily opposing forces
- 17:28 – Practical examples of utilizing AI to optimize energy usage
- 28:22 – The broader benefits of using AI to impact sustainability
- 31:05 – Balancing AI’s benefits with its environmental footprint
- 38:32 – Advice for both companies and individuals leveraging AI
Also listen as Heather and Scott were guests on The Atlantic's The Most Interesting Thing In A.I. podcast hosted by Nicholas Thompson. In that episode, they expanded the dialogue on AI and its role in addressing climate concerns to further examine the balance between leveraging AI for progress and mitigating its environmental impact.
