Sustainable AI Futures is a BRAID-UK* project exploring the relationship between AI and the environment -- with special interest in the social life of governance tools, the generation and circulation of knowledge claims, how we imagine alternative futures.
Sustainable AI Futures: Conversations is a series of interviews with researchers, artists, practitioners, and industry experts working across these questions. This series brings together a wide range of perspectives from around the world to shine light on this rapidly evolving topic.
What is the purpose of these Conversations?
The purpose of the interviews is to explore the intersections of AI, society, climate justice, knowledge and the environment through conversations with leading researchers offering insights into their work and research findings.
Who is taking part?
Interviewees include Jamie Dobson (The Cloud Native Attitude), Dan McQuillan (Resisting AI - An Anti-fascist Approach to Artificial Intelligence), Fieke Jansen (Critical Infrastructure Lab, Green Screen Coalition), Patrick Brodie (Wild Tides: Media Infrastructure and Financial Crisis in Ireland), and Ketan Joshi (The AI Climate Hoax).
