    Is AI good or bad for sustainability?

    AI is a double-edged sword for the environment. Its growth requires masses of energy, water, and rare earth metals. The LLMs of tomorrow may even require the world to bring old power plants, powered by fossil fuels, back online. On the other hand, AI has the potential to accelerate sustainable transformation by providing innovative approaches to energy production and consumption.   So, is AI a groundbreaking innovation or an environmental burden? Might it one day save our planet?   Today on the IMD podcast network, we're bringing you an episode of Mike and Amit Talk Tech, in which our hosts discuss AI and sustainability with Julia Binder, Professor of Sustainable Innovation and Business Transformation at IMD.

  6. Defence tech: From TNT to AI

    Defence tech: From TNT to AI

    Since the dawn of history, humans have turned to technological innovations to win wars. In the battle of Agincourt, French knights saw their superior numbers whittled down by English longbows. On the fields of Flanders, tanks and machine guns heralded a new age of mechanized destruction. The advent of TNT brought explosive power to battlefields long before the atomic bomb changed the face of war forever. At a certain point, technological developments meant that physical strength, and even numerical superiority, could be largely decoupled from victory. Those with the biggest guns, and smartest machines, won out. Now, as we enter an AI age, many wonder how machines will transform conflict once more. ***** Michael Wade is a Professor of Innovation and Strategy and Director of the IMD Global Center for Digital Business Transformation.

  7. How Silicon Valley firms are putting the "AI" in retail

    How Silicon Valley firms are putting the "AI" in retail

    This year, Amazon celebrated 30 years in business. By creating a virtual space where (almost) everything was available at the click of a button, the Seattle-based tech firm changed the face of retail. Tempted away from brick-and-mortar stores by the convenience of online shopping, Amazon created a whole new kind of consumer. However, not all of its retail ideas have been successful. The company recently decided to close nearly all its cashless physical stores because of low sales. Customers just weren't buying into the concept of a till-less store. This demonstrates a simple, but important rule of retail: old habits die hard. Over the years, retail innovations such as the cash register have made life far more convenient for owners and customers alike, and letting go of them isn't that easy. In this episode, Mike and Amit discuss what makes retail tech successful – and what your shopping experience may look like in years to come. ****** Michael Wade is a Professor of Innovation and Strategy and Director of the IMD Global Center for Digital Business Transformation.
