Introducing The ESG Show Summit

1 month ago | techopian.com | Michael Baxter

ESG is the dock, and the ESG community needs to come out fighting. We can't wish climate change away. The need for ESG is greater than ever. There are other issues, too — AI is a force for good; it is also a force for bad. Humanity needs this force, as it were, 'to be with you,' and indeed all of humanity. Business has to act responsibly— good governance is a matter of survival. Good ESG is good business; it is good for reputation, it is good for business profits.
Is AI really the solution?

Oct 25, 2024 | techopian.com | Michael Baxter

We’ve been here before. Claims that AI is over-hyped are as old as AI. Sometimes, it can get silly. Those are not my words; rather, Mitch Waldrop, a celebrated technology writer who authored various articles and books on AI in the 1980s and 1900s, said there had been a “combination of silliness and seriousness.” Why is that significant?

Rising AI Emissions and What to Do About Them

Jul 19, 2024 | techopian.com | Sarah Burnett

There are reports that Google and Microsoft each consumed more power than some countries in 2023 . That is 24 Terawatt-hours (TWh) each of electricity, which is more than that used by 100-plus countries in the same year. That’s about the same as Azerbaijan’s electricity usage, but higher than the 19 TWh consumed by Iceland, Ghana, the Dominican Republic, and Tunisia. It’s only slightly lower than the 25 TWh that Libya used and the 26 TWh of Slovakia. Our demand for AI has played a big part in it.
Navigating the ESG backlash

May 8, 2024 | techopian.com | Michael Baxter

US TV host Tucker Carlson calls ESG “a destructive force pressuring governments to sabotage their own economies.”There are those who hate ESG, and there are those who don’t have a problem with the ideology behind it but think it is used as a kind of smokescreen. They think they can wash bad behaviour with green colours without any attempt to change that behaviour. People who work in ESG, even its greatest advocates, have sympathy with the greenwashing charge.
If this is an AI bubble, then heed the lessons of the dotcom bubble

Apr 7, 2024 | techopian.com | Michael Baxter

Are we witnessing an AI bubble? If this is an AI bubble, then remember that the dotcom bubble was followed by an Internet revolution. It's a shame about the Internet. Do you remember the Internet? There was a time when hype suggested it would be the next big thing. But of course, as we all know, it fizzled out, and nowadays, no one uses the Internet. I say this with certainty because I read it. In December 2000 the Daily Mail ran an article saying the Internet may be just a fad.

Saving money and the planet- not a bad brace.

Jan 15, 2024 | techopian.com | Michael Baxter

Saving money and the planet— not a bad brace. Imagine you knew in advance that your car was about to break down. Imagine the money you could save by fixing your car in the garage before you leave. Imagine the stress you would reduce by avoiding that breakdown. Now apply that example to an industrial plant — you know in advance that a certain machine is about to pack up. You know in advance that you will be unable to meet that new order unless you fix a mechanical fault.
