How to upend supply chains to be more regenerative with blockchain and AI w/ Todd Taylor

Dela

Blockchain and AI (artificial intelligence) technology are promising innovations that have already transformed the ways that we interact, transact, and analyze information. And both technologies are still in their infancy. In this episode of On the Climate Record, Todd Taylor, a lecturer from Arizona State University, stops by to discuss his previous work as a supply consultant and ASU’s current research to advance the uses of blockchain and AI to track and trace carbon-emitting and sequestering practices.

In Taylor’s line of work, he’s observed several data challenges that prevent a corporate’s ability to collect entire supply chain data and delay developments in carbon quantification and analysis. Todd and ASU’s Thunderbird School of Global Management and Blockchain Research Lab, are currently discovering the ways technology can be used to minimize these challenges by integrating AI and blockchain technology. While describing these possibilities, he explains the additional ways that these tools can be used to develop schemes for penalizing and rewarding practices that pollute or sequester carbon dioxide.

Near the end of the discussion, Todd Taylor will share a piece of wisdom for listeners so that they may continue to learn and connect with the earth.
