Episode Synopsis

Artificial intelligence might seem invisible, yet it has a significant environmental impact — one that is difficult to quantify due to companies' lack of transparency with their data. So, to what extent should we be worried?  Is there a way to reduce the environmental cost of AI? To answer this question and unpack the relationship between AI and the environment, Euronews Tech Talks sits down with Jonathan Niesel, leader of the information technology department at Greenpeace Germany and Maja Kirkeby, researcher in the energy consumption of software at Roskilde University in Denmark. Do you want to reach out to Euronews Tech Talks?
