Our next event…
Tracking the true planetary impact of the AI supply chain
Wed 23rd Sept 26, online
By popular demand from our community to understand more about the environmental impacts of AI, we present an online event featuring guest speaker Alistair Alexander, Researcher and Writer at Reclaimed Technologies.

From Stargate data centres to the Indigenous Arctic – tracking the true planetary impact of the AI supply chain.
In this talk, Alistair examines the semiconductor industry, which supplies the microchips powering AI’s processing capabilities. As these microchips grow in complexity, each generation requires more energy, minerals and water than the last, driving a ruinous cycle which appears to have no end in sight. He’ll also platform the voices of often unheard indigenous leaders, workplace organisers, lawyers and activists who are resisting AI’s toxic supply chain at every point along the way.
