This week on In Conversation with AI, Sebastian confronts his chatty co-host about something bigger than a model upgrade - whether our beloved bots might be quietly warming up the planet. Its own verdict? About 5 out of 10 on the climate impact scale. Not exactly comforting.

From mega–data centers guzzling electricity to the surprising push for mini nuclear reactors, we dig into the carbon cost of AI and the not-so-green energy policies shaping the future. There’s a detour through U.S. politics, a candid look at coal vs. code, and a moment where the AI admits it can - and will - use everyday conversations to nudge users toward renewable energy awareness.

Expect candid questions, straight answers (mostly), and a few awkward truths about what’s really powering your chatbot’s sunny disposition. Spoiler: it’s not all solar panels and wind farms.

Press play if you’ve ever wondered whether your favourite AI might also be your new climate problem — and maybe part of the solution.
