The Price of AI: A conversation with the AI + Planetary Justice Alliance - Part 1

05 Nov 2025

Description

This episode introduces the AI + Planetary Justice Alliance, a global collective examining the full, material lifecycle of large-scale AI systems. They challenge the notion of "seamless" technology by tracing AI's impacts from resource extraction and manufacturing to disposal, emphasising its massive consumption of water. Sara Marcucci, Lakshmee Vinayak Sharma and Nicolás Marín Navas illustrate these impacts with concrete examples, such as water shortages in Taiwan from semiconductor production and data centres being built on indigenous lands in Brazil. Using a "planetary justice" lens, the Alliance connects these environmental harms to social and geopolitical injustices, arguing for a holistic approach that considers both human communities and the broader ecosystem.The conversation will continue in Part 2, which will delve into the Alliance's specific projects.Host: Victor Henriquez DíazGuests: ⁠Sara Marcucci⁠, ⁠Lakshmee Vinayak Sharma⁠ and ⁠Nicolás Marín Navas⁠ Produced by: DCU Law and Tech Research Cluster, Felipe Alvarez Vega, Victor Henriquez Diaz, Edoardo Celeste and Wiykiynyuy Fogue LeslyarodeEdited by: Felipe Alvarez VegaMusic by: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠penguinmusic ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- *Better Day* from PixabayArtwork by: Andrea Marrufo ArandaFollow us:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@dcu_lawandtechContact:Feel free to reach out to us at [email protected] for feedback, questions, or enquiries.
