Premiered November 1, 2022, this discussion explores Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education. AI, defined as computer systems performing human-like tasks such as visual perception and speech recognition, is transforming education. It improves quality and access to knowledge, optimizing learning patterns and automating tasks for students and teachers.

In this AI for Good Perspectives event, Professor Mérouane Debbah, Chief Researcher at TII's AI and Digital Science Research Center, details how data and AI revolutionize education. He also addresses shaping national policies to advance equal learning, a core UN Sustainable Development Goal. Debbah is also a professor at CentraleSupélec and Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence.

Darrel Moellendorf, a professor at Goethe University Frankfurt, examines climate justice in the Anthropocene—an era defined by humanity's impact on nature. He discusses geoengineering, new technologies to artificially cool the planet, as a potential solution, noting its inherent trade-offs and risks.

This clip summarizes Professor Moellendorf's comments from an April 2018 roundtable. Hosted by the Carnegie Council's "Ethics & International Affairs" journal at the International Studies Association's Annual Convention, the full transcript and audio are available here.

Joshua Goldstein, Professor of International Relations, discusses the global path to decarbonization. He is the co-author of *How Some Countries are Solving Climate Change*.

Goldstein highlights the varying progress among nations, noting that some countries are significantly further along than others in addressing climate change.

While the public now grasps the serious threat of global warming, a clear path forward remains elusive. Drawing from his book, *Under the Influence: Putting Peer Pressure to Work*, Robert Frank

While the public now grasps the serious threat of global warming, a clear path forward remains elusive. Drawing from his book, *Under the Influence: Putting Peer Pressure to Work*, Robert Frank proposes that leveraging behavioral contagion can make addressing climate change less daunting than many believe.

Robert H. Frank is the Henrietta Johnson Louis Professor of Management and Professor of Economics at Cornell's Johnson Graduate School of Management. He previously wrote the "Economic View" column for *The New York Times*.

Farmers face obstacles to participating in carbon markets, despite the effectiveness of tree and soil carbon sequestration in combating climate change. Drawing on nearly a decade of work in Haiti, ecologist Deborah McGrath proposes a win-win strategy for climate justice.

As the Carl Biehl Professor of International Studies and Assistant Dean for the Environment at the University of the South, Dr. McGrath advocates for colleges like Sewanee to invest in small farmers. This approach reduces institutional carbon footprints while integrating trees into farming strategies that benefit people, planet, and profit. She values collaborating with farmers and students for their environmental restoration potential.

Dr. Peter Victor, Professor and past-Dean of Environmental Studies at York University, argues that economic growth, the primary global policy objective, is unsustainable. Its long-term viability is increasingly questioned due to environmental impacts, resource scarcity, and its failure to significantly improve happiness, eliminate poverty, or create full employment.

A simulation model of the Canadian economy demonstrates that full employment, poverty eradication, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and fiscal balance are achievable without economic growth. Victor advocates shifting focus from growth to specific objectives directly related to human and planetary well-being.

Incorrectly disposed plastic severely harms our planet. This raises critical questions: Can bioplastics offer a viable alternative? How should consumers manage separate collection, and what is the government's role?

Giorgia Spigno, an Associate Professor in Food Science and Technology at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, addresses these complex issues. With an MSc in Food Science and Technology and a PhD in Chemical and Process Engineering, she shared her expertise at a TEDx event.
