✨ 💫 Out now: Climate Governance and AI Regulation

📌I argue that AI and climate change have structural similarities that should be acknowledged in regulation

💬 Both are global and collectively caused,
💬 Both generate diffuse and potentially long-term harms alongside highly concentrated private gains
💬 Both strain an individual‑rights-centred legal architecture designed for bilateral disputes between identifiable actors

In the article, I analyse:
🌍 How a shared "tragedy of the commons" logic creates a structural protection gap
📃 Why "regulatory solutionism" creates complex paperwork to avoid making hard distributive choices.
🏞️ How AI's ecological footprint (energy, water, resource extraction) is slipping through the cracks of EU environmental law

I propose applying the precautionary principle to both fields, including introducing mandatory environmental risk assessments and consumption caps for the most resource-intensive AI systems
