Just been a listener of this „webinar“ with Brian Eno leading the discussion. Organized by Client Earth. It was interesting, inspiring, a bit creepy and humourous in equal measure – done with a smart way of making highly complex interactions (machine/humans/nature) appear not too complex – or overpowering (at least for AI😉.) No doubt, Brian, as a music man, had the best sound of the trio (the best microphone?). Well, what to make about this all? Being quietly optimistic may be a good attitude instead of being too euphoric or desparate (not so many alternatives). Have to look for a kind of podcast of this one-hour-webinar that makes you really think „outside the box“.
„The 2020’s is a revolutionary decade. Most likely, cleantech will drive out fossil fuels, biotech will re-engineer the food system, governments will act to save the environment and China will dominate Eurasia. All the while AI will spread across the economy and climate change will loom over us.
What happens when AI joins the battle against climate change? In this special one hour seminar Danny Hillis and Howard Covington will explore the themes that will determine how the decade unfolds.“
