"Artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionised our lives in myriad ways, from
personalising our social media feeds to giving us driving directions and
monitoring our health.

In recent years, hopes have grown that AI may also help humanity tackle global
environmental problems such as climate change.

AI involves using computers to make them think like humans. It can solve
complex problems and process huge amounts of data.

But the technology brings with it a host of environmental costs. Here, we weigh
up the pros and cons."
