AI governance must address risks to nature, campaigners urge

AI governance discussions are neglecting nature, with campaigners warning of increased exploitation of biodiversity and ecosystems. Conservationists argue that AI's economic growth potential, driven by significant private investment, poses a greater threat to nature than its benefits, potentially fueling resource extraction and consumption. Activists are urging for nature to be a primary concern in AI governance, advocating for its inclusion in corporate policies and regulatory systems before AI's influence outpaces conservation efforts.
