Two minutes into his TedX talk on AI and the environment, Tejas Chopra notes that training a single large language model releases roughly the same amount of carbon dioxide into Earth's atmosphere as 125 roundtrip flights from New York to Beijing.
In keeping with his ever-practical approach, Chopra goes on to suggest several concrete ways to redu...

Imagine a downtown urban street on a traffic-heavy Saturday night.
Now, add a severe snowstorm and an autonomous vehicle that safely navigates it all, despite
fogged-up cameras,
unpredictable pedestrians in oversized outerwear,
streetlights throwing glare off a dozen wet surfaces, and
the snow itself, which all but obliterates th...
