Who is working on #AI and #sustainability in the UK (or nearby)? There must be a lot of people but no one comes to mind. I've been asked to suggest a speaker other than me, which is a fairly low bar given how much I talk about sustainability (a bit but...)

#AI and#sustainability is a curious mix though. Most in tech avoid thinking about sustainability as anything other than a positive force, which is difficult to get around. It depends what the person asking means by#AI as well. Intrigued

@bcmerchant's pieces on this (1st tweet and last tweet of thread).@garyacook has looked into Amazon's data center fossil fuel vs renewable energy investment. Good thread from Garyhttps://twitter.com/emahlee/status/1159984373900308480 …Journalists, PLEASE, don't help Amazon greenwash.

@mer__edith is an expert on AI and ethics, but I'm not sure how much she's put attention on AI and climate specifically. Meredith? Also, do you know others we should know about?
