Unplugging Skynet for Earth Day. Local AI. From Personal to Planetary.
AI That Doesn't Cost the Earth.
GLAM — Global Local AI Mobilization — launches on Earth Day, April 22nd, in San Francisco.
Cloud AI is one of the fastest growing energy consumers on the planet. Every prompt burns power. Every response leaves a carbon trail. Local AI changes that — running on your device, in your community, under your control. Private by design. Sustainable by necessity.
Join us for the GLAM launch — an afternoon of talks, demos, Q&A, and an open invitation to get involved.
We're joined by Steven W. Pearce, MBA, MPM — global sustainability strategist, creator of Predictive Sustainability Intelligence, and author of From Warming to Warfare: Climate Change and the Road to World War III. Steven brings 13+ years of climate systems work across three continents and is ranked #66 on illuminem, the Bloomberg of Sustainability.
The afternoon: 2:00 — Networking 2:30 — Talk: Ciaran O'Hara, GLAM founder 2:45 — Talk: Steven W. Pearce 3:00 — Open Q&A 3:30 — Live demos: local models, LM Studio, Ollama
Who this is for: Climate technologists, AI builders, activists, policy makers, and anyone who's wondered whether there's a better way than handing AI to the cloud.
Free. In person in San Francisco. Earth Day 2026.
