Joel Makower’s Post

I’ve refererred to this provocative session before. Here Joel Makower, who opened the conversation, provides a cogent summary that I hope entices you to read Peter Leyden’s summary and watch the videos he’s curated. There’s plenty to be concerned about with regard to AI, but there’s enormous potential too (which has been my own experience so far). And guess what: they’re not going away. So we worldchangers need to understand them, and know how to use them in support of the things we care about and #TheWorldWeWant.

What if AI wasn't only risk/problem/danger, but also powerful tool to address the problem we already faced as well as the ones that it itself is creating? Have a look at this essay and stack of videos that dive into the matter of AI, energy, and climate. Story is much richer than simply "massively rising demand."  https://lnkd.in/g8fajTy5 https://lnkd.in/gRADMz7P

I just published my latest in-depth essay that synthesizes what about 250 experts and innovators learned in our event in San Francisco last month focused on how AI could accelerate progress in solving the great challenge of climate change. We had a dozen of them with expertise in climate or AI or both give their answers, which we videoed with a sophisticated 3-camera shoot. The essay integrates all the contributions with the whole being greater than the sum of the parts. But the essay also links to the talks of each of the speakers that can be viewed in their entirety on our Reinvent Futures Youtube channel. The conversation was sobering when we faced up the realities of the climate challenge but inspiring as well because AI is already breaking new ground on what's possible - and the potential impact of this new general purpose technology may be what humans need to finally pull this off. Read the piece to understand why. We really had some amazing minds in the mix like: Saul Griffith, Jef Caers, Himanshu Gupta, Anna-Katrina Shedletsky, John Picard, Apoorv Bhargava, Matthew Kropp, Vijay Gadepally, Joel Makower, Michael Marano, and Harnish Jani. This kind of important and complex conversation could not be done without pulling together the networks and resources from our key partners BCG X and SHACK15, as well as sponsors who are on the forefront of Generative AI: Google Cloud, Writer, Adobe, Radium, and B Capital . Thanks for making this event and the ongoing series The AI Age Begins be all it can be. And a special thanks goes out to my partner at Reinvent Futures and co-host Joe Boggio. #climate, #AI, #cleanenergies, #GenAI, #GenerativeAI,

We must have a meaningful discussion about how we can harness AI for good — namely, to help speed up our response to the climate crisis. #AI #climatechange https://lnkd.in/dbZneNkX

Join Mark Rowe on a deep dive into how AI can tackle climate change, and why there are risks involved in seeing the technology as a panacea. https://lnkd.in/ep5SKwdz #ai #climatechange #climateaction

As we navigate the complexities of climate change, AI emerges not only as a futuristic tool but as a powerful ally in the present. From distilling raw data to optimizing systems, forecasting, and scientific simulations, AI is actively shaping our response to environmental challenges in a much-needed way.
