BigEarthData.ai has launched as a new environmental intelligence platform dedicated to protecting the environment, climate, and people for global ecological sustainability.
Among my big concerns re: AI is the resource suck - water and electricity. While people struggle with high energy bills, they only get higher as our usage of energy competes with AI’s. Requiring more data centers and more electricity production to the point that they’re expecting to build new nukes. How does this AI deal with those issues? Another issue for me: Does this factor in Earth’s regenerative capacity and overall resilience? People were shocked at how some things shifted when the Covid isolation came. Air cleaned up, canals cleaned up. And the only thing humans did was simply stop. What if we stopped and then, carefully, began listening to Earth with all our senses, following Earth’s lead. I have no doubt we can move to a better, more ecological future, and that Earth has the resilience to “recover”. Not go back to any past state, but forward and still in a healing way. I hope that makes sense.
I share your concerns with AI's use of water and energy. In fact I have questioned industry leaders pointedly on the matter. I would prefer AI be used to synthesize and act upon ecological science and not for trivial purposes like selling more. I'll have to continue trying to offset my AI's carbon and water with personal land regeneration. I don't think those concerned with ecological sustainability can walk away from AI and cede it to the usurpers.
I am glad to see you back online again! As far as a response to John's comment I see the problem of homelessness as part of the problem of overpopulation without planning for the needs of a larger population. Family planning is important and people should learn the benefits of having smaller families and communities need to respond by better planning for the needs of more people on a finite planet.
Since I do not see any previous comment Glen, let me be the first to throw a little tidbit to the forum..
Here’s my take… unless we see the forest for the trees, as the never-ending homeless increases everywhere, the chances that there will be a long term solution to existential crises of any kind are zero.
Point:::: do the homeless have a right to defend themselves?
Making an effort to identify and amplify the highest quality environmental news. It's always imperfect as it is algorithm driven mostly. Yet I have tried to train the AI to evaluate as I would with a deep ecology and biosphere-first lens. Good to hear from you Joe.

Replies anyone ?
