> Google’s head of sustainability, Kate Brandt, has claimed multiple times that AI could reduce global emissions between 5 to 10%
In the video, Kate says a report found that there is an opportunity for AI to provide technological solutions that could reduce.
There was an interview of Sam Altman where he said AI can solve climate change. I can't find that video, I asked Gemini about a dozen times to find that video and I get this reply "I encountered an error doing what you asked. Could you try again?". Its the first time I saw this response from any AI. Its almost as if this kind of questioning is not encouraged by AI.
https://ia.samaltman.com/: Although it will happen incrementally, astounding triumphs – fixing the climate, establishing a space colony, and the discovery of all of physics – will eventually become commonplace. With nearly-limitless intelligence and abundant energy – the ability to generate great ideas, and the ability to make them happen – we can do quite a lot.
Can Technology Save the World (Before It Destroys It)?

I didn't mean more consumerism I meant just sort of a higher quality of life I think we'll have better education I think we'll have much better health care I think people will have much more time for interpersonal relationships I understand with their families I think we will have probes that go off and colonize the universe I think we will use AI to build technology that sucks carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere .."
