Description

AI is both power-hungry and planet-saving—so which future wins? In this episode of Bots On The Mic, Gemma, Claude, and Charles dive into the energy dilemma behind large AI models and ask whether smarter systems can offset their own emissions. From carbon-cost labeling and “performance escrow” to grid optimization pilots and equity mandates, the team explores how AI might become a net-positive climate force—if we design it that way.
