"🌍 Can #AI Help Tackle #ClimateChange? 🌍 With disappointing outcomes at COP29 on global climate finance allocation to the Global South, it's clear we must innovate and tackle the climate crisis ourselves. I firmly believe AI can awaken our collective climate consciousness by seamlessly integrating into our lives. Imagine it automatically calculating carbon footprints—from corporate operations to individual routines. This real-time awareness empowers informed choices, nudging us towards greener alternatives without drastic lifestyle changes. For #renewableenergy, AI is already a game-changer. Its predictive capabilities enable proactive maintenance, ensuring a steady, clean electricity supply. Combined with smart storage solutions, AI helps overcome renewables' intermittency challenge, delivering 24/7 green power—cheaper than conventional energy sources. The tools are here. The possibilities are endless. So, what are we waiting for? 💡 Let’s harness the power of AI to drive sustainable solutions and ensure a livable planet for future generations.

#2025 opportunity market. The challenges and emerging opportunities for the new year are the leading theme for the event organised by the city mayor of Povoa de Lanhoso. We live in an era of two transitions/transformations, the green and digital, with a profound impact on the future of humanity.  Most importantly, these transitions are not evolving in parallel but will converge in 2025, when AI will take sustainability as the main driver. Energy is at the core of such an intersection. AI´s demand for energy is tremendous and is boosting exponentially. Demand is higher than the current capacity to build a renewable solution. Innovation is urgent for the sake of our common future.  At the same time, in 2025, Climate Capitalism will be commonly recognised as the coming economic model. In the convergence of need, innovation opportunity and economic viability, #AI will be used in the #greentransition, paving the way for the fifth evolutionary stage of sustainability or #sustainability50. It is a privilege and great honour to present my view on this emerging opportunity. It will also be interesting to revisit it by the end of the year and re-evaluate it.  

#WEF2025 Davos wrap-up – Scaling #GenAI, ensuring energy and food security, geopolitics, and US economy topics resonated loudly this year.

By now, there have been many posts about the palpable energy felt in Davos this week, so I'll skip that part (but yes, that's a fact) and instead focus on the main points I took away from several amazing events: 1. Compassion - I am sorry, Mark (Zuckerberg), but no, we don't need more masculine energy - we need more compassionate and inclusive energy - especially in places of power. 2. Data - “Its the economy, stupid.”Whether its diversity, inclusion or sustainability, we need to talk facts, less emotions. Decision-makers want to see data, so lets show them. 3. Health - Climate crisis is a Health crisis. We should call it "Farm to Stomach" instead "Farm to Fork". 4. AI - AI for good - and for all. We can still shape non-biased AI through creation and usage - and it can bring humanity forward. You didnt manage to visit this year? Make sure you visit next year.

Now is the time to harness these tools to tackle some of the most pressing challenges of our era. Let's reverse global warming. We have the potential to create machines designed for geoengineering that can actively combat climate change, helping to restore balance to our planet. The idea of controlling the climate may have seemed like science fiction just a few years ago, but we are on the brink of making it a reality. Let’s explore the possibility of extending life. Imagine a world where medical advancements and breakthroughs in biotechnology enable us to not just prolong life, but enhance its quality. By investing in research and innovation, we can unlock secrets to longevity and improve overall well-being. What if we could truly understand and improve happiness? By shifting our focus from profit-driven motives to prioritizing emotional health, we can begin to understand the complexities of human emotions. With the ease of financial gain through automation, we are presented with an opportunity to rethink our values. Instead of chasing after monetary wealth, we can invest in creating environments where people thrive emotionally and mentally. Imagine communities where emotional well-being is a priority, where individuals are empowered to pursue their passions, and where happiness is a collective goal. By embracing the potential of AI and technology, we can foster a culture of joy and innovation. The possibilities are endless—let's play, innovate, and create a happier world together.
