Public Resource
AI: Climate implications, responsible use, and ethics and values*
Raz Pollex

The use of AI is a highly contentious topic in the climate movement. Some of us are deeply concerned about the climate, water, and labor impacts of this growing technology. Some of us are excited about the opportunities to do more good work with our limited resources. Most of us are somewhere in the middle.

To address these questions, the Lab is partnering with Ryann Miller of Spark & Signal and Valerie Ehrlich of Mission Bloom to host a series of six trainings to help climate advocacy organizations move from AI anxiety and ad-hoc use, to building a shared organizational understanding, guide clear decision-making, and implement responsible experimentation.

In this first training, we’ll be focusing on the key question: What are the real climate and environmental implications of AI, and how can climate organizations think about responsible use?

Participants will leave this Lab training being able to:
-Identify key climate and environmental factors that often inform AI use in advocacy organizations
-Explain why AI use involves real trade-offs
-Apply a values lens to think about responsible AI use

To help climate organizations better understand AI, The Climate Advocacy Lab is partnering with Ryann Miller of Spark & Signal and Valerie Ehrlich of Mission Bloom to host a series of trainings to help climate advocacy organizations move from AI anxiety and ad-hoc use, to building a shared organizational understanding, guide clear decision-making, and implement responsible experimentation.
