AI has a climate problem — but so does all of tech — Decoder with Nilay Patel
AI has a climate problem — but so does all of tech — Decoder with Nilay Patel
Every time we talk about AI, we get one big piece of feedback that I really want to dive into: how the lightning-fast explosion of AI tools affects the climate. AI takes a lot of energy, and there’s a huge unanswered question as to whether using all that juice for AI is actually worth it, both practically and morally. It’s messy and complicated and there are a bunch of apparent contradictions along the way — so it’s perfect for Decoder. Verge senior science reporter Justine Calma joins me to see if we can untangle this knot.

AI is learning how to lie — Marketplace Tech
AI is learning how to lie — Marketplace Tech
Large language models go through a lot of vetting before they’re released to the public. That includes safety tests, bias checks, ethical reviews and more. But what if, hypothetically, a model could dodge a safety question by lying to developers, hiding its real response to a safety test and instead giving the exact response its human handlers are looking for? A recent study shows that advanced LLMs are developing the capacity for deception, and that could bring that hypothetical situation closer to reality. Marketplace’s Lily Jamali speaks with Thilo Hagendorff, a researcher at the University of Stuttgart and the author of the study, about his findings.
