AI in the Environment: Why new tech gains should be applied to biodiversity loss

When a machine can perform tasks that normally require humans, and potentially mimic or surpass them, this can be referred to as “artificial” intelligence. But when human ingenuity is applied to AI, it opens up a world of possibilities. This is currently evident in degrading ecosystems, climate change, food insecurity and a pandemic, to name a few. Unfortunately, not enough of this technological advancement is being applied to Biodiversity loss. Dr. Graham Taylor is a Professor and Canada Research Chair of Machine Learning at the School of Engineering at the University of Guelph, Research Director at the Vector Institute and Canada CIFAR AI Chair. He talks about the importance of protecting biological diversity, pushing boundaries with AI, and driving future behaviours to improve life. Hosted on Acast.

Energy use and Emissions are the climate topics of the day.

This means commercial vehicles have the potential to make the most impact on climate change if deployed in a sustainable and efficient manner. Mike Branch is the Vice President of Data and Analytics at Geotab. He talks about AI and its ability to uncover inefficiencies to help boost decarbonization. Hosted on Acast.

Dr. Golnoosh Farnadi is an Assistant Professor in Computer Science at McGill University, Adjunct Professor at the University of Montréal, Core Academic Member of Mila (The largest AI lab in the world) and Chair of Canada CIFAR AI. She talks about fairness and equity in the HR processes and the need for responsibility in AI development, transparency, and ensuring human oversight in critical decision-making processes.

Amir Sulaiman's Journey From Poet to Screenwriter

In this episode of This Being Human we delve deep into the profound significance of poetry in modernity through the lens of renowned poet and artist, Amir Sulaiman. Hailing from Rochester, New York, Amir's poetic journey has traversed continents, resonating with audiences globally. From his exploration of existential inquiries to the unraveling of universal themes such as love, spirituality, and human connection, Amir's verse serves as a sacred mirror reflecting the complexities of the human soul. Traversing continents with Amir's poetic resonance and universal appeal, we explore how poetry serves as a bridge, transcending cultural boundaries and uniting hearts across the expanse of our shared humanity, and how personally it's led him to collaborate with other celebrated artists like Ramy Youssef, Dave Chappelle, and Robert Glasper. As we contemplate the future of poetry in the digital age, Amir envisions its continued relevance as a guiding light amidst the complexities of modern life, serving as a compass for the human spirit amidst the noise and chaos of contemporary society.
