Today, two of the most urgent global conversations—the acceleration of climate change and rapid growth of AI—can be clouded by concerns of risk and unintended consequences. When we focus only on the potential risks such as job disruption, or soaring energy demands, we miss the chance to thoroughly investigate and invest in the opportunities.
There is no doubt that the challenges are real, and companies like Amazon are actively working to address them. Yet when we view them together, the two don’t simply compound. They intersect in ways that can spark innovation, offering the U.S. a unique opportunity to lead by harnessing AI as a force for climate progress at the speed and scale required.
