The development of artificial intelligence has become the greatest technological advance of recent decades: its ability to detect patterns and predict future scenarios has shown great potential for mitigating the climate crisis, but this benefit coexists with its enormous environmental cost. Faced with this paradox, the United Nations is proposing measures to improve the efficiency of algorithms and reduce resource consumption, but several essential questions remain unanswered: Are these measures sufficient to control such voracious progress? Is the progress offered by AI inevitable? What position should governments and international organizations take? Because, at the end of the day, beyond progress, we need a habitable planet.
