Description

Everyone’s panicking about AI’s water use, but the math doesn’t add up. In this episode, we’re joined by Jairo Trad, co-founder and CEO of Kilimo, a climate-tech company using AI and data to help farmers dramatically cut water use at scale. Jairo explains why much of today’s fear around AI and water is misplaced and why agriculture, not data centers, is where the real impact lies. “If you calculate the lifetime water use of AI, it’s equivalent to about 28 avocado toasts at most.” Key insights from this episode include: • AI Water Panic: Why headlines exaggerate AI’s water footprint • The Real Numbers: How agriculture dwarfs AI in water consumption • Where Impact Lives: Why farmers are the true leverage point for water security Tune in to discover how AI can deliver far more value than the water it consumes and why smarter irrigation, not AI fear, is the path forward. 🎧 Full episode drops on Tuesday! #AI #WaterCrisis #AgTech #ClimateTech #Sustainability
