Yesterday I was able to attend the AI LA Earth Summit, a day of talks and chats about how data and machine learning applications can be applied to the Climate space. There were a few unintended themes: 📊You can only manage what you measure - About half the speakers addressed some kind of major gaps in our understanding. Anupa Asokan in particular highlighted just how little we know about our oceans, even just basic maps. Companies like Joshua Fisher's Hydrosat and the nonprofit Carbon Mapper are relying on satellites with better instruments to get more accurate pictures, for instance. 📍 Problems are big, but solutions are local - You eat a whale one bite at a time, and every climate tech company addresses a fraction of the whole. So the efforts of companies like Nextjet or Bill B.'s Evolectric - CircularEV™ Solutions add up. Central planning probably won't solve our big problems. 🔦 You don't know what you don't know, so find out. - We're walking bundles of unconscious biases, so it's paramount to bring in the voices unlike your own. If you're aiming for a global reach, you need global input. And taking a trip isn't enough - bring in people with lived experience. Cool stuff, good thinking, and I love seeing LA flexing its climate muscles.
