What are the direct and indirect impacts of AI, and how can these be mitigated? In this episode, Sally Radwan, Chief Digital Officer of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) delves into the environmental impact AI has outside of energy consumption, ranging from e-waste disposal to the construction and location of data centres. On the flip side, Sally explains the positive environmental impacts of AI including how it can support policymaker decision making, provide accurate information about environmental science and detect methane emission hotspots early on.
