The powerful duo: Frugal Innovation and Artificial Intelligence in daily living Now, imagine that there is a way you can have your cake and eat it too. All of this while saving money and conserving resources. Instead of it being too good to be true, this is an example of what frugal innovation can offer. It is a simple application of frugal innovation in your daily life. A core aspect of frugal innovation is looking at the price point of, well, everything. It looks at systems, products, and decisions that give you the best value for your buck. Especially now in tough economic times, it is about doing more with less. For example, say in the warm months, you try to keep cool without racking up the electricity bill. Frugal innovation would be to use what resources you have at your disposal to create the outcome you desire with no additional costs. In this instance, some will utilize plastic waste (containers) and wall space to grow plants that can keep the house cool. Or cultivate rainwater in a process that is healthy for daily consumption and personal care. That’s frugal innovation. Creative isn’t it? So how then can the transformative phenomenon that is Artificial intelligence significantly reduce the use of our limited resources? Well, for one thing, technology solution providers, and businesses, now can collect large amounts of data, assess individual needs and behaviors, and create more accurate solutions that are accessible and sustainable. Another important use of AI as a frugal innovator is cutting down on time, and the resources it takes to deliver the right solutions for the people and community you serve. Frugal innovation seeks simplicity and modesty in the way we live. Not only is it ideal for dealing with societal and environmental concerns, but it is also an urgent answer to slowing down our collective spending. With necessity as the key driver of frugal innovation, armed with AI, we stand to benefit more from well-thought-out solutions that will answer our ever-changing needs.

Our excitement grows as we see the advancements in AI, particularly in its potential to boost sustainability and protect the environment. While it’s inspiring to witness AI’s positive impact and possibilities, it’s important to stay mindful of the accompanying moral and ethical considerations. Key challenges we find include minimising AI’s energy consumption to reduce carbon emissions and promote environmental health. In sectors such as agriculture and resource management and assisting our approach to many environmental challenges, AI offers a fantastic opportunity to use technology responsibly, helping to prevent issues like overfishing and deforestation. The results are clear, and they show that AI can be a powerful way forward in our journey for a more sustainable future. That’s why we will be supporting ventures that leverage AI for environmental sustainability. If you’re interested in getting involved as a venture or partner, please add your name to the waitlist. https://lnkd.in/gEYyEe7D #ai #sustainability #environment

This morning, Fareeah Vawda shared some insightful words for an article we're submitting to the Sustainability Handbook, and I couldn't help but be inspired! to use some of the words haha #FareeahGPT “Putting the AI in SustAInability: Is Data the New Soil? Imagine a world where every drop of water is accounted for, every kilowatt of energy is optimized, and every acre of land is used sustainably. This is not a distant utopia but a reality within our grasp, thanks to the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in sustainability efforts. In the modern era, where economic growth meets environmental stewardship, AI emerges as a powerful ally. The question we face at this pivotal junction: Is data the new soil in which the seeds of a sustainable future are sown? Harnessing AI to drive sustainable practices goes beyond technological innovation; it's about reshaping the future of our planet. With its unparalleled ability to analyze large datasets, forecast trends, and offer predictive insights, AI enhances our understanding of environmental systems, enabling smarter decision-making. This capability is crucial because the gap between data collection and insights can be the difference between preserving a forest or losing it, a city with clean air or one shrouded in smog, a community with access to clean water or one plagued by scarcity. In this context, data is both a challenge and an opportunity. The challenge lies in the volume and complexity we navigate. The opportunity is to use AI to cut through this complexity, transforming raw data into actionable intelligence. The potential applications are vast—encompassing energy, water, agriculture, conservation, buildings, and critical infrastructure.” This is exactly why our (The Awareness Company) core focus now, and for the foreseeable future, is helping organisations who have to address sustainability issues. Without sustainable action, we risk more than lost opportunities. #Sustainability #AIinAction #DataDrivenFuture To the future 🚀
