In a coauthored article for Fortune, BCG’s Global Chair, Rich Lesser, explains why AI is critical in the collective effort to tackle climate change. A joint report from BCG and Google found that by scaling currently proven applications and technology, AI could mitigate 5% to 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. Lesser asserts that policymakers play a central role in harnessing the potential of AI for climate action. “Enabling this technology through smart policy decisions may prove one of the most impactful climate actions we can take today,” he writes.
