AI Should Run on 100% Renewable Energy by 2030, UN Chief Says What an incredibly delusional, nonsensical and dangerous thing to say. Who's advising this guy? Of course, it's the exact opposite. AI is driving a surge in coal, oil and gas. A surge. And fake renewables are no solution. This cheap propaganda is constantly peddled--that fake renewables have little or no environmental cost.

In the UK, doctors refusing to use “untried and untested” artificial intelligence (AI) software at work will be supported by the BMA. “Trusts, GP surgeries, and doctors must not be forced to use AI,” said Samuel Parker, who proposed the motion on behalf of the BMA’s Gateshead division at the union’s recent special representative meeting. https://www.bmj.com/content/390/bmj.r1953
"Many of us live in communities that either have or will have a data center, and we’re already feeling the effects. Many of these plants further burden communities already struggling with a lack of economic investment, access to basic resources and exposure to high levels of pollution.
