   Can AI be applied for Sustainability? It’s complicated… with Jeremy Tamanini | #78

   Is AI genuinely helping us build a more sustainable world — or are we papering over inconvenient trade-offs with a shiny new tool? On today's episode of Green IO, Gaël is joined by Jeremy Tamanini, a researcher and consultant who has spent years investigating applied AI for sustainability use cases. Jeremy brings a refreshingly grounded perspective to one of the most hyped conversations in tech: can AI actually move the needle on environmental and social outcomes, or does the framing of "AI for good" obscure more than it reveals? Together, Gaël and Jeremy resist the temptation of easy answers. Rather than cheerleading or catastrophising, they dig into concrete examples — from carbon accounting platforms embedding AI to cut compliance workloads, to satellite imagery married with machine learning to illuminate Scope 3 emissions that would otherwise remain invisible. The conversation is a careful, honest attempt to map where the evidence points, where it is still missing, and why that distinction matters enormously.

   The dilemma of using AI for sustainable software engineers, with Natasha Ann Lum | #77| 77

   Do software engineers still have the choice of not using AI? The numbers speak volumes and the short answer is ...no. For the environmentally-aware developer, this is a daily dilemma. In this episode of Green IO, Gaël is joined by Natasha Ann Lum, co-founder of the RagTech podcast and MC at Green IO Singapore 2026. She practices AI-assisted coding every day. But here’s the catch - she’s doing so by ‘embracing the discomfort of AI’, warts and all. That means jumping in, finding the relevant use cases for AI in her daily workflow, and mitigating its costs. Natasha’s approach comes from a place of advocacy that many other responsible technologists can relate to; data sovereignty, minimising environmental impacts and finding ways to speak truth to power. And behind it all is a decision-making framework that threads everything together.

[…] And for example, factor in efficiency. So you can say, I want a model that's accurate at extracting text for PDFs and uses less compute. But then if you're coming from a general purpose angle, of course it makes sense to have these massive models and of course it makes sense to sell them to your customers as the thing that can do OCR and it can also write a poem and it can also plan your vacation as one single model, right? But yeah, when I talk to... People who work at small enterprises, they don't need that, and they often can't afford, or it's expensive for them to use these models as opposed to a smaller task-specific one. […]
