S5E2: Artificial Intelligence and Climate (Part I) with KeShaun Pearson

In this episode, we’re bringing in Memphis Community Against Pollution director KeShaun Pearson to reflect on the renewable source of people power against injustice.

Artificial Intelligence, or AI, requires massive data centers, and the data centers require massive amounts of energy and water to function. AI data centers are popping up all over the US, including Virginia, Texas, and Tennessee, and there’s little existing regulation that holds them accountable to the communities they occupy. 

“The only way to take down giants is through community. And the only way to engage with the community is that you have to show up.” – KeShaun Pearson
