"Selling #translation rights in 2025 is a more challenging activity than it was in 2005, requiring deeper market knowledge..."

Is AI Good for the Planet? - JSTOR Daily The algorithms that promise to predict wildfires and optimize energy grids are powered by servers that drink up rivers and belch out more carbon than cars.

What happens behind the walls of data centers, where water is drained for cooling and carbon quietly accumulates, rarely makes headlines.

Humans are being hired to make AI slop look less sloppy In the age of automation, human workers are being brought in to fix what artificial intelligence gets wrong.
