My podcast recordings are usually under 30 minutes, but sometimes there is topic that is so fundemental and foundational to how we live our lives every day, the clock is just thrown out. This is one of those topics.
While there were many 'Ah ha' moments, one moment of enlightenment was just how much carbon is produced for the inefficiency in training an AI model. We looked it up during this podcast. It was shocking. AI is used to support research in reducing carbon emissions, but we may not be fully aware how much AI technologies act as a carbon emitter.
Our goal with this discussion is by then end you are asking yourself questions you may not have thought about and/or starting asking new questions at your job tomorrow.
Topics covered today: What is Circular Supply Chain? Impact of on primary, secondary, and other supply chain...markets, materials, and waste How do you wrap your arms around all that data? Considerations when building new products?
Why should we care about Circular Supply Chain? Impact of carbon footprint when training AI technologies
Redefine the definition of your carbon footprint to include systems, AI technologies, etc.
Are we really closer to a zero carbon footprint? What is a true circular economy? What is Zero-waste really? The defintion from 5 years doesn't exist today. In 3 years from now, we will want to redefine this again.
Visible impact & roles for a citizen of the earth - what can I do? Cultivating the right mindset - the negative perception of refurbished vs OEM Roles and responsibilities - what you thought your role was today is completely changing
Do we take a serious look at scrap & how it can be resused in new creative ways? We illustrate a real world example. -----------------------
Sneha's passion is leading supply chain process improvements while focusing on the reduction of carbon footprint and improving sustainability.

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
