Modelling finds AI-driven productivity gains in coal, oil and gas enable more emissions than applications in renewables avoid<\/p>\n

AI-driven productivity gains enable more planet-heating pollution from fossil fuels than they avoid from renewables, a study<\/a> has found.<\/p>\n

Researchers modelled the technical potential for AI to boost clean power generation along with projections for how it can help produce coal, oil and gas. Across 64 scenarios, they found net yearly carbon pollution rose by 0.47-1.8 gigatonnes, or about 1-5% of the energy sector\u2019s annual emissions.<\/p>\n
