AIxMultilateralism: Down to Earth — Why AI Depends on Planetary Intelligence, with Martín Tironi Rodó

This is AIxMultilateralism, where we’re joined by experts who help us unpack the many ideas and issues at the nexus of AI and international cooperation.

The environmental impact of AI systems is increasingly discussed. But what if we went beyond this to look at how the success of AI is dependent on the earth’s resources? In this episode we are joined by Martín Tironi Rodó, Director of FAIR, the Futures of Artificial Intelligence Research Nucleus, and the sociologist of Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. He shares why artificial intelligence is deeply interconnected with planetary intelligence, and calls for more research, agency and leadership across Chile and Latin America in shaping the future of AI.
