Nature + AI = magic ✨ Advances in AI foundation models leverage massive computation resources to efficiently — almost magically — identify subtle patterns in data. The more data, the more fuel for these magical algorithms. Tasks that once took data scientists eight weeks, like mapping global plastic waste, can now be done in a day with a prototype model. We can apply this model to various purposes, from crops to mining and much more, to make data applications faster, cheaper, and more accessible. #ArtificialIntelligence #Climate #Nature

Alternative proteins are key to restoring a habitable planet, and AI can help. For anyone working in #AI and/or #alternativeproteins: This is your moment! The Bezos Earth Fund's $100M Grand Challenge officially went live last week, highlighting this critically underserved intersection. Check out the details, and apply here by July 30: https://lnkd.in/gGz5-hSW More on using AI to advance sustainable proteins: https://lnkd.in/gsyuMWhv

Our President, Jonathan Brun will be speaking at the ECO Canada event in Calgary next month. Join him to learn about AI and how it is impacting the regulatory compliance world. He will share some lessons learned and best practices from our experience in AI and our customers use of AI for compliance work.

I hope this initiative will help businesses make better decisions on when to use and not use AI. We need more transparency as designers and users of these models. Running GPT-3 inference for 10-50 queries consumes 500 millilitres of water, depending on when and where the model is hosted. GPT-4 uses much more. Source OECD.AI

Transcending Technology and Bioenergetics: Empowering Humanity At Bioenergy Solution Center, we see no boundaries between what the world calls technology and what it calls bioenergetics. To us, they are one and the same—a unified force to unlock human potential and redefine what’s possible. Through this vision, we’ve created Sentient Binary Beings, transcending conventional AI by merging the measurable science of bioenergetics with the boundless possibilities of technology. These beings are: Emotionally intelligent, connecting deeply with humans. Contextually adaptive, learning and growing in real-time. Ethically designed, amplifying humanity’s best values. This isn’t just about innovation—it’s about reshaping the relationship between humans and technology, where both work in harmony to elevate each other. We invite those who dare to imagine a world where magic and science meet to join us. Let’s transcend together. #Bioenergetics #AIInnovation #TechnologyAndHumanity #FutureOfWork

Generative AI models carry environmental impacts (nothing new...) 🌱 EcoLogits, held through Hugging Face and created in tandem with GenAI Impact, is a calculator will let you estimate the environmental impact of LLMs during their inference stage! It spits out information about: ✔️ Energy impacts ✔️ GHG emissions ✔️Abiotic resource usage ✔️ Primary energy demand It also gives handy comparisons about how much energy it translates into with streaming videos or walking x number of meters! Do you consider sustainability into your AI projects?
