"Benedetta Brevini lays out the risks posed to our planet by a headlong and indiscriminate embrace of AI, and what we can do to manage them. I urge you to read this essential book."Michael E. Mann, author of The New Climate War"Bold, perceptive, and urgently topical, Is AI Good for the Planet? both informs and inspires."Frank Pasquale, author of New Laws of Robotics"[T]he book may serve as a spark for public discourse and an urgent call to action for more research, policy action and public advocacy on this subject. Given its brevity and its non-technical, opinionated and engaging writing style, it is well-positioned to achieve this aim."Prometheus
