Kevin Frazier is joined by Gavin McCormick, who leads Watt Time and ClimateTrace, a global coalition that has revolutionized the process of identifying and quantifying emissions. For decades, climate policy has relied on self-reported data from nations and corporations—a system prone to gaps and \"greenwashing.\" McCormick’s work leverages machine learning to monitor every major source of emissions on Earth in near real-time. They discuss the legal implications of \"radical transparency,\" how AI-driven data can be used to enforce regulations and measure claims, and the myths and facts of AI’s environmental consequences.
