I was chatting with a friend over coffee the other afternoon about nothing in particular, and inevitably the topic turned to AI. After all, I coordinate a United Nations-backed group of AI experts, and he makes his living creating AI-generated videos. ¡°Can¡¯t live without it,¡± he said casually, like he was talking about electricity or running water.
Because of the work that I do, I asked what felt like an obvious question, ¡°Do you ever wonder what AI might be costing the planet?¡± He paused, looked away, and thought for a moment. ¡°No idea,¡± he confessed.
I nodded, because the truth is, most days, neither do I.
