Climate Change and the need to look back as well as forward

Climate change initiatives need to combat existing issues as well as prevent future climate problems. One worrying issue is that it is not enough to look at the alleviation of future climate damage; we also need to look at ways to fix the damage that has already occurred, as well as look at the economic viability of options so that there will be a strong incentive for businesses to switch from petrochemical sources to alternatives. Fortunately, the investment in climate-related technologies, such as AI, has significantly increased in recent years. Various funds and organizations are focusing on climate technology development and investing in high-impact and deep-tech solutions, including AI.

Schrodinger’s Automation in AI and the Automation Bias

Automation is one way in which we can have human-centered Artificial Intelligence. It can relieve us from repetitive and mundane tasks so that we can make the most of our human skills and talents. That said, we may have to use those human skills and talents as a check on Artificial Intelligence and its outcomes, or perhaps to solve the problems that appear when we don’t open the box. We can be said to have an Automation Bias, where we assume that technology just works.
