In our series of speaking of experts, politicians, entrepreneurs and investors, we noted the post on Linked in by Jean-Marcvici, Founding Partner of Carbon 4 and president of the Shift Project, with his usual tone incisive, on frenzy around artificial intelligence. “Artificial intelligence is the new promise of Eldorado formulated by a part of the world” Tech “”, he writes, while recalling that the resources necessary for its development are not infinite.

It also points to the limits of AI in the face of the concrete challenges of climate change: “It is not Chat GPT which will lower the temperature under the attic in the event of a heat wave, or make the bees resistant to neonicotinoids! »»
He invites decision -makers to think about the use of resources deemed “already limited”: “Time, brains, material means and electricity that we will put in the superfluous will miss – and in fact already lack – to the necessary. “An intermediate report of the Shift Project will appear on March 6, focusing on” the impact of AI on emissions and energy consumption “, a reading that we are impatiently awaiting.
