Reid Hoffman on AI’s Environmental Impact and the Path to Sustainability

  • Summary

  • One of the biggest debates in the AI revolution is its environmental impact – especially the vast amounts of energy we need to run AI, and the carbon emissions that could follow. Yet AI is also a super powerful tool for smarter, cleaner energy use around the world. Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn and Inflection AI and friend of our show, joins to share his take. He weighs AI’s potential for environmental help and harm, depending how humans deploy it. We dive into the consumer’s role, what sustainable AI looks like, and if it’s really a silver bullet to solve climate change.
