Sarah Marquis on AI, Farming, and Our Sustainable Future

I just kind of take issue with that assumption that we're going to be able to invent our way out of climate change, out of this huge problem. That's not the argument that we need to be having.
Ever thought about how artificial intelligence could reshape farming and help our planet? Skye MacDonald brings you an enlightening chat with Sarah Marquis, a PhD student passionate about environmental sustainability and AI in agriculture. Sarah breaks down complex topics into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand how technology can transform our food systems for the better.
But it's not all tech talk—Sarah also highlights the importance of social infrastructure and warns against depending solely on AI to solve our climate crisis. She dives into the influence of oligarchs, the risks of replacing human jobs with robots, and the need for fair resource distribution. The episode touches on hot topics like Bill Gates' land purchases and challenges you to think about your role in building a sustainable future.
With Skye's candid style and Sarah's deep knowledge, this episode offers a mix of humor, wisdom, and a call to action. Perfect for anyone curious about the future of our planet and how we can all contribute to a greener world.
