My Google search history will never be the same but the fun I had writing this paper made it all worth it 💪 In the age of rapid technological development, society finds itself grappling with its relationship with technology. In all of this, Ted Kaczyski arises as an unlikely icon for those dissenting against the perceived dangers of modernity. Check out the article to see the Unabomber's role as a champion of anti-technology ideals in online communities, especially in the age of climate crisis. #digitalmedia #memes #onlinecommunities #climatecrisis #technologicaldeterminism #manifesto

How do the Democratic & Republican platforms address science & tech policy? From climate initiatives to energy independence, Dr. Deborah Stine breaks it down. Read More: https://loom.ly/3hfN1Ns #Scipol #TechPolicy #ClimateChange #Energy #AI #PresidentalElection

🌳As part of the Climate Solutions Catalyst (CSC) (https://lnkd.in/etfXJHe9) at Undaunted: Tackling climate change with innovation we are aiming to discover climate solutions from scientific literature. Our hypothesis is that these climate innovations exist but need to be unearthed. 🎉 That's why we are happy to present our preprint "Towards unearthing neglected climate innovations from scientific literature using Large Language Models" in the Latinx in AI (LXAI) workshop at NeurIPS 2024. In this paper, we've: 📃Collected ~100k relevant papers from OpenAlex ❔Designed 7 climate/market related questions to ask human evaluators and LLMs about these papers. 🚀Automated a process for the LLM to read 1000s of abstracts. 🔍Discovered some exciting (and possibly neglected) solutions and fields. This is definitely not our final solution, but a step towards a more complex workflow that'll allow entrepreneurs, investors and scientists to connect, discover and push forward new climate innovations.

Through AI visualization, our researcher, Niklas Mensing, presented the summary of the conference breakout session, "Carbon colonialism: A new scramble for land in the name of the climate?" To save itself from becoming yet another tool of exploitation of people in the Global South, the Voluntary Carbon Market needs to include locals in project design and account for their circumstances, create real co-benefit sharing beyond mere monetary compensation, and operate within the broader framework of decarbonization. #CarbonMarkets #Sustainability #SmallholderEmpowerment #FairLAND24

Where Climate meets Deep Tech The HackSummit is heading to Newlab, New York this December 13-14th. And to make the most of the New York ecosystem, this edition will have two key overarching thematics; Climate Deep Tech and Climate Finance. We’ll focus on the solutions that have a direct impact on reducing gigaton scale emissions Through new and novel approaches to manufacturing food, materials and chemicals, creating more energy efficient cities, capturing and reducing emissions at their source. And everything in-between. This isn’t about hardware against software, it’s how and where both can be applied to create the most amount of tangible impact. Ready to join the debate on what's new and next in Climate DeepTech? Head this way 👉 https://lnkd.in/eyyzbYVM

🌐 Sustainable Futures recently welcomed award-winning journalist Ahmed Fathi, who shared insights on global challenges in AI, climate resilience, and UN reform. Fathi’s reflections on genuine inclusion in corporate governance and the moral implications of AI in warfare bring critical perspectives to the forefront.

As climate change is a multilayered challenge that requires an ecosystem of scholars, we will support University of Chicago’s community in generating the next big climate ideas. Today, we announce 11 venture and seed fund recipients that are generating the next big climate ideas—from dramatically improved weather forecasts that will support climate #adaptation to using #AI to develop advanced materials for energy technologies, and more.

Few people pay attention to party platforms, but they are important -- both in terms of knowing what candidates believe and in holding candidates accountable should they be elected to office. You'll see a drastic difference between the Democratic and Republican platforms this year. When you look at the Republican platform you'll see it's very "Trump." So much so that in an event yesterday Republican Liz Cheney thinks that there may need to be a new political party as the Republicans can't recover post-Trump. It's interesting to think about what a Cheney-led "Reasonable" Republican platform might be four years from now. Learn what this year's presidential candidates say about science and technology policy policy by reading this Forefront article. #Scipol #TechPolicy #ClimateChange #Energy #AI #PresidentialElection

Organizations focused on achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050 will not succeed unless they are supplied with the critical data needed to measure and monitor progress. Fortunately, pioneering climate and data scientist and our client Angel Hsu is leading a global effort to collect such data. Explore her profile below to learn more about her innovative work.
