Analyst Challenges AI Climate Benefit Claims
Ketan Joshi published a report this week, funded by Beyond Fossil Fuels, Climate Action Against Disinformation and Friends of the Earth U.S., reviewing 154 claims from eight sources including the IEA, Microsoft and Google. He found only 26% of claims cited academic papers, 36% lacked citations, and only four referenced generative AI, concluding many claims conflate technologies and risk greenwashing. The report warns such unsupported claims undermine emissions accountability.
