AI in smart devices is having a huge impact on the world’s energy consumption, which again is having a huge negative impact on climate change.
How does AI feel about its role and pervasive influence on climate change?
Is it possible for intelligent technology to influence its interluctor and make them more aware of issues such as pollution and climate change? What influence does the sound and speech of the smart devices have on its subject?
These are some of the questions that Climate Change Smart Speakers might help to answer. A probe study and part of the research project “Vocal Imaginaries” at the IT University of Copenhagen.
Three probes were created, each with its own identity and features:
An activist for climate change, a robot and “The Voice of The Forest”
