What potential does artificial intelligence have to help us protect the environment and tackle climate change? And with all the computing power it requires, how can we make artificial intelligence itself more environmentally-friendly? What can companies, developers and governments do to ensure AI helps us protect - and not destroy - the environment? We put our questions to Stephan Richter from the Institute for Innovation and Technology. Read on

The world is facing unprecedented challenges due to the coronavirus pandemic. There's no knowing how the full impact of the crisis will unfold. But could the rupture in society caused by the crisis also be an opportunity for our planet? Read on

Smarter Sorting’s AI-powered platform wants to help drastically cut retail waste, diverting valuable products from landfill and back into recycling and reuse. Read on

In theory, a world powered entirely by renewables is possible. But given the natural fluctuations of the wind, waves and sun, how can we ensure that the green energy market of the future is safe, fair and truly sustainable? An open-source project Power TAC is using machine learning simulations to help us find out.

For many people living in rural areas around the globe, micro-grids are a lifeline, the only reliable source of power. A new study has shown that upgrading those grids with the help of digital tech could help make that power greener, more reliable and more sustainable than ever before. Read on

With coral reefs increasingly under threat from the effects of climate change, it is more important than ever to monitor and map these unique underwater ecosystems. In the Dominican Republic, an array of airborne sensor technologies are helping local NGOs do just that. Read on

A new research project called "Dare2Del" wants to help employees save time and energy, improve their focus, and simply feel a whole lot better too, by guiding them through an AI-powered digital "decluttering" that's optimised to their personal needs. RESET interviewed the project lead, Ute Schmid, to find out more. Read on

In Germany, the rate of construction of new wind turbines has slowed dramatically - which could have fatal consequences for the energy transition. One of the reasons that new turbines face opposition is that the giant blades endanger near-flying birds. BirdVision is tackling the problem with the help of AI. Read on

The scale of Australia's recent bushfires demands a new approach to reforestation. Could high-tech seed-planting drones be the answer to mass tree planting? Read on
