Experts say that we’ve entered the fifth industrial revolution. An age defined by the rapid rise of human-machine collaboration. At the very core of this, is AI. It’s new. It’s here. It’s everywhere. It’s our society’s newest, latest shiny toy. And the potential is enormous. So what exactly can AI do for the environment, and who’s been successful at putting it to good use?
