As we work towards raising ambition for #COP26, the @energyforgrowth team will continue to push for economic justice. My latest @TEDTalks for @TEDCountdown frames some of this thinking: ted.com/talks/rose_m_mutiso_…

Both Sam Altman (OpenAI) and Dario Amodei (Anthropic) have made some version of the argument that AI will give us the power to "fix the climate". I find this a deeply problematic position, as the challenges of mitigation are as much political as technological.

💻 Will AI save the planet? Or will we run out of energy before it can transform our lives into an age of abundance?

Everyone's got something to say on #AI these days, so I decided to jump on the bandwagon with my own thoughts. I write in @ScienceMagazine on why & how African countries should cut through the AI buzz and meaningfully prepare for this brave new world science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

My book is published today in the US 🇺🇸
Published in the UK (& elsewhere) on 11th.
It looks at 7 of our big environmental problems & how to solve them.
These problems are massive. Urgent. But solvable. It's a critical decade for us to take action.

Calls for more climate finance are important, but if current practice is any guide, a large share of the funds will be taken from budgets that fund critical development priorities, @vijramachandran and @alexjmssmith write. foreignpolicy.com/2023/12/01…
