The AI Revolution Mirrors the Green Transition
The need for massive upfront investments and the likelihood of significant job displacement imply remarkable parallels between the AI buildout and the green transition.
I am a postdoctoral researcher in the University of Chicago's Institute for Climate and Sustainable Growth & the Climate Systems Engineering Initiative. I use tools from data science, optimization, and computational modeling to study climate science, economics, and risk management. My goal is to better understand the risks climate change poses to our planet, both now and in the future, and possible ways we can address them.

It is far past time to view carbon dioxide emissions themselves - not just the capital that generates them - as an investment, one that does societal harm.
