I wrote about why I distrust claims that #AI will help us solve #ClimateChange. I'd love your thoughts.

#HopeCoda

Just like #ClimateScience more generally, it seems you can't write an article about the biophysical damage caused by #ArticialIntelligence without some sort of #HopeCoda - in the case of #AI, saying "but it may help us solve climate"

Most of these proposed "solutions" that use AI simply monitor our destruction of #habitat and #EarthSystems

Very few are actually about reducing that destruction

This is just another form of #Greenwash and needs to be called out as such
