TechCrunch Canonical Interview

"In an interview with TechCrunch, Al Gore suggested he isn't losing sleep over AI data center emissions — he's more worried about the AI industry's own warnings about where the technology is headed."

Al Gore AI Industry Warnings & Emissions Impact Simulator

Read the explanation

This simulator contrasts two concurrent AI pressures: data center power emissions and systemic safety warnings highlighted in Al Gore's interview. Baseline physical carbon tracks compute scaling, but clean baseload contracts and efficient power usage pull emissions down toward one hundred sixty-five megatons. Enabling Frontier Alignment Oversight deducts fourteen and a half points from systemic danger, shifting risk from critical down to sixty-four.
