Artificial intelligence is changing the world. From automating the invoicing process to packing your online shopping, driving cars and even creating models that appear in adverts, these algorithms are designed to think like us so they can manage the tasks that only we are capable of doing.
With such systems touching just about every aspect of our lives it is understandable if investors are asking how AI can impact their portfolios, especially when it comes to building a sustainable future.
But will AI help such sustainability efforts or could there be a conflict in that it drives greater inequality and pushes more carbon into the atmosphere?
This month’s ESG Club looks at the issue as well as speaking with Honor Fell, sustainable investment officer at the Cambridge University Endowment Fund, about how she is preparing for a net-zero economy and the pros and cons of working with asset managers.
