As Nvidia hits a $5 trillion market cap and the global race to build faster, smarter AI accelerates, communities in East Asia are bearing with the hidden consequences. In this bonus episode, host Joycelyn Longdon speaks with Katrin Wu from Greenpeace East Asia to uncover how AI supply chain is driving pollution, health risks, and rising emissions, in the attempt of catching up with increasing global energy demands.
We hear from Sunryul Kim, a South Korean campaigner who filed a lawsuit against LNG Power Plants being built in his community and Lena Chang a campaigner from Taiwan, who tells us about the impact that the tech industry is having in her homeland.
