SUX EP 14 - "AI and digital Sustainability" with Tom Greenwood

This time we were joined by one of the long-time trailblazers of digital Sustainability - Tom Greenwood, Founder of Wholegrain Digital and Author of “Sustainable Webdesign”. We spoke about digital Sustainability, and how Tom’s Journey into it already began 2004. And we discussed the challenges of advocating for digital sustainability and where we are at the moment and what we actually can do as designers on various levels.  In the second half of the conversation we were diving deep into AI, its impacts and if AI can help us saving the world or helps destroying it. We were discussing if AI is creative and what the use of AI does to us as humans.  It was a very deep and inspirational conversation and if you want to learn more what you should ask yourself when using AI, tune in to this episode of the SUX Podcast.   Connect with our guest or us: Tom’s Channels: Tom’s agency Wholegrain Digital: https://www.wholegraindigital.com/  Tom’s Newsletter “Oximoron”: https://tomgreenwood.substack.com/  Toms’ “Humanitas et Machina”: https://hopefulepoch.substack.com/  Tom’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tomgreenwood/  Toms’ Book “Sustainable Web Design”: https://abookapart.com/products/sustainable-web-design/  Sources from the episode: Book “Approaching the Natural” by Sid Garza-Hillman: https://abookapart.com/products/sustainable-web-design/  Blog-Article: “Will AI be good for the environment?”: https://www.wholegraindigital.com/blog/will-ai-be-good-for-the-environment/ Website Carbon Calculator: https://websitecarbon.com   Our Channels: Bavo's Linkedin  Thorsten's LinkedIn  Isabel's LinkedIn  SUX Slack Community  SUX LinkedIn  SUX Website Email us at podcast@sustainableuxnetwork.com to share your feedback or suggest future guests.
