Smart Solutions, Hidden Costs: Weighing AI’s Climate and Health Impact

The AI boom introduces new possibilities for identifying and implementing innovative climate solutions that can protect communities and improve health. At the same time, the water and energy resources — and resulting fossil fuel emissions — needed to cool and power AI’s data centers create new and growing threats to health. In this webinar, Harvard experts will address AI’s complex relationship with both climate and health outcomes, acknowledging both the transformative potential and the real costs involved.
