How can RAISE-UP support AI if it uses so much energy and could worsen climate change?

 

RAISE-UP fully supports efforts to fight climate change. We recognize that training AI models uses energy, but AI is moving forward whether we like it or not. The responsible path is to guide AI to help solve the climate crisis, not add to it.

 

RAISE-UP promotes policies that make AI development cleaner—powered by renewable energy, designed for efficiency, and held accountable for its carbon footprint. At the same time, AI can be a powerful tool for progress: speeding breakthroughs in fusion and advanced nuclear energy, improving grid efficiency, reducing waste and emissions, predicting extreme weather, and helping communities adapt and thrive as the climate changes.

 

In short, RAISE-UP believes we must harness AI for good—to cut emissions, create clean-energy jobs, and ensure everyone can live a flourishing life on a healthier planet.
