Benedetta Brevini
Is AI Good for the Planet?
Polity Press, 2022
¿De qué se trata?
Does AI do more harm to the planet than good?
Recommendation
AI is set to take over the world, but is it actually good for the planet? Academician Benedetta Brevini argues that AI contributes significantly to the current climate crisis. The media hype AI as the solution to pervasive problems, including climate change, without providing a balanced assessment of the risks. AI needs material infrastructure, has a massive carbon footprint, and produces e-waste that disproportionately damages marginalized communities. Brevini concludes by calling for more transparency and accountability from AI developers and from nations that oversee their operations.
