Beside that, as the planet heats up, our world is also witnessing another explosion: the rapid rise of Artificial Intelligence. You know, Models like ChatGPT and technologies from Google have completely changed the way we work. Putting these two phenomena side by side might seem unrelated at first glance, however, the rise of AI has a paradoxical link: Often viewed as purely virtual, AI has a massive physical footprint on climate change: AI is both a 'hidden crime' and, at the same time, expected to be the 'technological key' that helps humanity solve the climate challenge. →That is precisely why our group chose the topic 'Climate Change and AI'
