But while technology can translate messages, it misses an important component of human communication – the cultural nuances behind the words. So, while…

NZ is encouraging the use of AI – but it’s largely outsourcing the risks and societal costs

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

As investment in generative AI continues to grow globally, New Zealand’s government has been implementing its use across the public sector and encouraging businesses to embrace the technology’s potential. But the environmental, social and governance risks and costs of AI remain under-investigated. In particular, the energy-hungry computations generative AI requires mean an ever-expanding carbon footprint for this technology at a time when countries are expected to make more ambitious commitments to cut emissions at the upcoming United Nations climate summit (COP29) next month. We argue that questions around AI’s environmental and social impact need to be part of the conversation…

But as Apple Intelligence’s beta testing has already made clear, the power of these features falls well below what is on offer from major players like OpenAI, Google and Meta. Apple AI won’t come close to…
