Techish Presents IRL: Decoding the Planet with Bridget Todd

Techish is taking a short summer break, but we’ll be back in September! In the meantime, we’ve got a fantastic episode to share from our friends over at the IRL Podcast. 

You might remember we had IRL host Bridget Todd on Techish recently for our Falling in Love With Your AI episode. 

So trust us, you’re gonna love this one.

Decoding the Planet: From Whales to Whistleblowers 

From season eight of the IRL podcast: AI and Us.

AI may be able to talk to animals, but at what cost to the planet. Who is making those decisions, and why it matters. From decoding whale language to protecting our oceans from unchecked offshore drilling, Bridget Todd talks to visionaries seeking to preserve our beautiful, fragile world. 

Holly Alpine left her job with Microsoft over the company’s role in providing fossil fuel companies with AI tools that could accelerate their production of oil and gas. 

As the AI and climate lead at Hugging Face, a platform for sharing open-source AI models, Sasha Luccioni calls for more transparency from tech companies about how much energy it takes to power AI. 

Aza Raskin, co-founder and president of the Earth Species Project, explains why using AI to decode animal communication could be the key to protecting our planet.

IRL is an original podcast from Mozilla, the non-profit behind Firefox.
