Generative AI tools, such as Open AI’s ChatGPT or Dall-e, have been the subject of much discussion in the last year. However, an important perspective that warrants more concern is the environmental implications of AI and its supporting infrastructures. Before the current AI boom, researchers suggested that communication technology could contribute up to 23% of global carbon emissions by 2030 (Andrae & Edler 2015). The current growth trajectory of AI is on track to drive up these numbers significantly, within a relative short timeframe.
This course prepares educators to integrate this urgent issue into their curriculum, and to prepare students for a changing AI landscape in education, policy, and industry.
