AI is widely heralded as a driver of economic growth, and a solution to environmental problems like climate change and biodiversity loss. At the same time, the rapid development and adoption of large, general-purpose AI models, such as for generative AI, has brought increased public attention to the industry's escalating emissions and resource use. This course is intended for students curious about the complex interplay between AI and the environment. It offers conceptual and analytical tools to assess the embodied and operational costs of AI, compare beneficial and harmful impacts of AI applications, and evaluate governance efforts at the individual, organisation and social level.
