What you'll learn
- •AI is genuinely useful for climate work — and genuinely costly. Both are true. You don't have to choose one.
- •Most AI failures in climate aren't technical. They're about misaligned incentives, missing accountability, and problems AI was never suited to solve.
- •The Five-Question Filter doesn't give verdicts. It surfaces the questions worth sitting with before you commit.
- •Responsible AI isn't the cautious option — it's what you do when you understand how good intentions cause unintended harm.
- •Opting out doesn't stop these tools from being built. Engage, with your eyes open.
