    It often feels like there’s no area of business that artificial intelligence isn’t about to disrupt. But for those interested in focusing attention on where the technology might have particular impact, a slew of grants from the Bezos Earth Fund provides useful pointers.

Perhaps most damning was the accusation that the technology would extend the life of fossil fuels and delay cleaner, longer-term solutions. Now the dynamics have shifted. CCS projects are growing at record rates.

My wife has a chronic pain problem and learned a ton about the science involved as she figured out how to manage her pain. She wrote about her journey and that of others for Nature. Take a look and forward to anyone who might find the piece useful. https://t.co/Qias61IaOV
