Yeah great point. AI definitely is playing a role in sourcing companies. More and more VCs automate analysis and data points collection. It also helps with decision-making.
Now, will AI help crack science and technological barriers to accelerate decarbonization? One would hope so. I think the major discoveries we recently had on the role of the phytoplanktons in the Ocean (if you haven't watched the movie Ocean, you should!). That suggests that we're still miles away from truly understanding our planet and our biosphere. I think AI will help us make leaps in this understanding.
If a computer can crunch all the data in the world in a heartbeat, we can find out new solutions and map some of the unknown unknowns.
The problem with this thinking is that implementing solutions takes decades, no matter how advanced they are. Even though AI gives us a plan, implementing it at the biosphere level will take years
Very insightful. This was a great piece.
Thanks Yoann.
What do you think about using AI to find solutions to those environmental challenges that we are facing ?

Great to hear such views from VC investor! Not all are lost to AI craze))) Keep calm and keep building real stuff!
Important to speak up about the state of the space. AI feels like crypto right now —> ‘everybody is getting hilariously rich but you’.
Truth is much more layered and struggle is real.
