Diaries
As an Alliance, we prioritize transparency and openness. We want everyone to be able to know our inner workings, and walk with us during the journey. This is where we tell you about how our research projects and initiatives are going, including mishaps, unforeseen events, errors, and all—just like a diary. If you think you could add value to our work or if you just want to join a community of people interested in AI and Planetary Justice, do reach out!
Developing an Impact Framework of Planetary Justice Impacts of AI
Behind every AI system lies a complex chain—from mining and manufacturing to model training, deployment, and disposal—that affects our environment and communities. This framework is our effort to map out those hidden impacts and ask the right questions about what we know—and what we still don’t know.
Our approach is aspirational. It outlines our ideal vision of understanding an AI system’s true costs by starting with clear, local impacts—such as the effects of mining or assembly on nearby communities. Although tracing every detail in a multi-tiered supply chain is challenging (even giants like Intel have struggled), we believe that beginning with local effects will gradually build a more complete picture.
This framework is a living document that will evolve over time. We invite you to join the conversation by sharing your comments and insights in our collaborative document. Your input will help us refine this tool and improve transparency and accountability in the AI industry.
