🌐 AI Cluster: Space Data Centers

​Welcome to the AI x Climate Cluster meetup!

​In our last AI x Climate Cluster, we learned that if AI becomes more energy efficient, it will only increase its usage (and thereby its environmental impact). How can AI grow while limiting environmental impact?

Rob DeMillo (CEO Sophia Space) joins us to share how space data centers can help.

​This meetup is hosted by Guthrie Gintzler.
