What if AI could actually help save the planet? We're flipping the script on the doom-and-gloom AI narrative! In this episode, Anne Therese sits down with Sinead Bovell — strategic futurist, Vogue's \"AI Educator for Non-Nerds,\" and one of the most trusted voices in tech today — fresh off an appearance on Oprah to talk about hope in an AI world.
From the energy paradox to the rise of Small Language Models, we dig into the real facts and data behind AI's environmental footprint — and why the story is more nuanced than the headlines suggest. We cover water use, carbon-free energy, AI-powered grid optimization, and the material discoveries that could change everything from fashion to construction. But here's the throughline: AI is a tool. And how we show up for it right now will set the tone for decades to come.
Because the future isn't something that happens to us — it's a choice we make today. Listen now wherever you get your podcasts.
