from Sustainable Transformation · host Kiarne Treacy

Did you know that using AI to generate a single image can use up as much energy as charging a smartphone? Or that some tech companies employ low-paid workers, including prisoners, to filter AI content? Behold, the hidden perils of AI. With innovation, always comes risk. AI is no exception. So this week, I’m unpacking the ecological, security, and ethical risks of AI use. Plus, what many organisations and governments around the world are doing to mitigate them.
