An intelligent trade-off: AI as a double-edged sword in Southeast Asia’s climate battle
Although artificial intelligence (AI) offers positive benefits for Southeast Asia’s climate battle, the region should not look at its usage through rose-tinted glasses. Without careful consideration, such systems may inadvertently undermine and be counterintuitive to the very climate goals that they aim to achieve.
As Malaysia takes on the Asean Chairmanship in 2025, it has a unique opportunity to champion a bold, legally binding regional framework for environmental rights. Such a framework would protect the people most affected by environmental degradation and hold corporations accountable for transboundary climate harm.
How the region’s populations view decarbonisation as the energy transition occurs can inform stronger leadership and better policymaking at the elite level.
