AI, Big Tech, and Ireland's Energy Futures

PATRICK BRODIE AND PATRICK BRESNIHAN ST MARY’S UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, FALLS ROAD

With the rapid acceleration and widespread adoption of artificial intelligence (AI), it is important to ground the promises of AI in its material and geopolitical context. Drawing from their recent book From the Bog to the Cloud: Dependency and Eco-Modernity in Ireland, Patrick Brodie and Patrick Bresnihan will discuss how US big tech gained a foothold in Ireland, and where opportunities lie for challenging its unjust expansion into our environmental future.

Mar gheall ar ghéarú gasta na hintleachta saorga (IS) agus ar an ghlacadh fhorleathan léi, tá sé tábhachtach gealltanais IS a bhunú ar a hábhar agus ar a comhthéacs geopholaitiúil. Pléifidh Patrick Brodie agus Patrick Bresnihan, agus iad ag déanamh tagairte dá leabhar is déanaí, ‘Bog to the Cloud: Dependency and Eco-Modernity in Ireland’, an dóigh a raibh bonn déanta ag teicneolaíocht mhór na SA in Éirinn, agus mar a mbeidh na deiseanna ann le dúshlán a fáis agus a forbartha éagóraí a thabhairt inár dtodhchaí timpeallachta.
