When It Comes to Biases, AI's Only Human

Introducing Insight Unpacked, Season 3: Can We Still Build a Green Economy? In the last decade, we've seen powerful people and organizations take on the issue of climate change — making big pledges to reduce their carbon emissions by adapting their fleets, retrofitting their offices, or going paperless.
