Buongiorno nexiane, AI e blockchain per profilare le emissioni personali di CO2 con lo scopo di combattere il cambiamento climatico attraverso l'eco-social scoring e scaltri artifici linguistici come «product as a service», «demand predictions» e «smart asset management». Soluzionismo digitale on steroids basato su una allucinazione pseudoscientifica: se non fosse che pare facciano davvero sul serio ci sarebbe solo da ridere. https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2022/09/my-carbon-an-approach-for-inclusive-a... (archiviato qui https://archive.ph/QuO9N, dove funziona anche senza JS) «‘My Carbon’: An approach for inclusive and sustainable cities» by Kunal Kumar (Mission Director, Smart Cities Mission, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs of India) and Mridul Kaushik Sep 14, 2022 --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- [...] While transport and buildings are the major drivers for emissions in cities, the share of individual emissions are significant at around 40%. [...] There have been numerous examples of personal carbon allowance programs [1] in discussions for the last two decades, however they had limited success due to a lack of social acceptance, political resistance, and a lack of awareness and fair mechanism for tracking “My Carbon” emissions. [...] There have been significant developments in last five to seven years on social, environment and technology fronts that could help realise “My Carbon” initiatives [...] Specifically, to mention three developments in this context: 1. COVID-19 was the test of social responsibility A huge number of unimaginable restrictions for public health were adopted by billions of citizens across the world. There were numerous examples globally of maintaining social distancing, wearing masks, mass vaccinations and acceptance of contact-tracing applications for public health, which demonstrated the core of individual social responsibility. 2. Fourth Industrial Revolution technology breakthroughs [...] technologies like AI, blockchain and digitization can enable tracking personal carbon emissions, raise awareness and also provide individual advisories on lower carbon and ethical choices for consumption of product and services. [...] the roll-out of smart meters in providing individual choices to reduce their energy-related emissions, the development of new personalized apps to account for personal emissions, and better personal choices for food and consumption-related emissions. AI can also help strengthen circular economy business models like product as a service models, demand predictions, and smart asset management by combining real time and historical data from products and users. 3. Raised awareness and ownership for nature and environment [...] 80% of citizens say they are willing to change how they live and work to combat the effects of climate change. Young adults, who have been at the forefront of some of the most prominent climate change protests in recent years, are more concerned than their older counterparts about the personal impact of a warming planet in many public surveys. [...] It is suggested to drive a three-way approach to shape this movement: [2] First: Economic Behaviour - Increased cost for carbon-intensive activities and goods - Economic incentives to reduce demand and improve efficiency Second: Cognitive Awareness - Raised visibility of personal carbon footprints Raised awareness of - personal carbon limits to sustain the transition to a net-zero carbon society Social norms: - New definition of a fair share of personal emissions - Setting for acceptable levelsof acceptable emissions Such economic action will need policy enablement from city leadership through extensive discussion between stakeholders to arrive at a fair and inclusive approach. The levers of Cognitive Enablement and Social Norms will be much more impactful through citizen engagement programs and learnings from the above-mentioned trends need to be captured to design these programs. Innovative AI and machine-learning capabilities would help capture embedded emissions in goods and services, and could help in providing individuals with tailored and timely advice on how to reduce their lifestyle emissions. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Saluti, 380° [1] https://www.nature.com/articles/s41893-021-00756-w.pdf «Personal carbon allowances revisited» [2] Immagine: https://assets.weforum.org/editor/6do9nWnCVlVnM8CQJ8_e0Wf9YsyVtpHqt5LQaZzDPd... -- 380° (Giovanni Biscuolo public alter ego) «Noi, incompetenti come siamo, non abbiamo alcun titolo per suggerire alcunché» Disinformation flourishes because many people care deeply about injustice but very few check the facts.
