Artificial intelligence is becoming a real tool in the climate fight: precise weather forecasts, optimized wind farms, satellite forest monitoring. But that same technology is driving a surge in data center energy and water use. AI is a multiplier, of solutions and of problems alike. This piece weighs both sides with primary sources from the IEA, IPCC, and peer-reviewed research, to show under what conditions AI can genuinely tip the climate balance.

Predictive justice covers AI tools that forecast judicial outcomes and reoffending risk. In the US, the COMPAS algorithm was accused of racial bias and later upheld in court under strict limits. In France, the DataJust project was abandoned. The EU AI Act classifies these systems as "high-risk." While AI can streamline civil litigation, using it in criminal justice raises serious questions about transparency, discrimination, and accountability.

In December 2025, NASA handed a Mars rover's full navigation over to AI for the first time. It's a turning point that shows what colonizing Mars really requires: robots that build, algorithms that heal, systems that keep humans alive without waiting on Earth. Between real breakthroughs and rarely-discussed blind spots, this article breaks down why artificial intelligence has become the precondition for a lasting human presence in space.

Algorithmic bias is one of the most serious risks embedded in modern AI, and one of the least visible. From Amazon's sexist hiring tool to COMPAS in the US criminal justice system, AI systems have been shown to replicate and amplify the inequalities of the societies that created them. This article explains where these biases come from, how they snowball over time, and what regulators, developers, and users can do to detect and correct them before they cause irreversible harm.
