00:00You know what the relationship between AI and climate change is?

00:03On one hand, AI engines and big data, they consume tremendous energy.

00:07The Paris Agreement stipulates a 45% reduction in carbon emissions.

00:11The NDCs, they target just 2%.

00:14Even that 2% is not going to be feasible.

00:16In fact, we are going to have an increase in emissions by 2030.

00:21Forget about minus 45%.

00:23It's going to be plus something.

00:25Something like one general search on chat consumes as much energy 100 watt light bulb

00:32consumes for 20 minutes.

00:34That's one thing.

00:35Second thing is, because AI is so smart, so we are now using AI to predict where exactly

00:42and how intense the next extreme weather event would be.

00:46We are not using AI to challenge climate change.
