Artificial Intelligence & Data Sovereignty

Artificial intelligence is everywhere, but its use and development carry a huge energy and environmental cost. Who ends up paying the bill?

This Groundwork Policy Briefings for Action session brings attention to the effect artificial intelligence, and the data centres that power it, have on indigenous communities.

With insights from Bryan Bixcul, Mariam Tamari, Katharina Ruckstuhl, and Tommy Bayer, we explore the true cost data centres have on energy and water usage, as well as how extractivist practices are going digital.
