Meet the innovators under 35 shaping climate tech
A climate tech profile piece with peripheral AI content - low priority for APS AI governance readers.
Key points
- MIT Technology Review profiles under-35 climate tech innovators, including some using AI for energy efficiency and pollution tracking.
- AI energy consumption measurement and ML-based pollution monitoring are among the AI-adjacent threads covered.
- Limited direct relevance to APS AI governance work - this is a general climate tech feature with AI as one thread.

MIT Technology Review's 'Innovators Under 35' climate tech feature profiles researchers working on AI energy efficiency measurement, ML-based pollution tracking, city-scale AI climate models, and critical minerals extraction. AI is one of several themes rather than the focus; the dominant content concerns lithium extraction technology and critical minerals supply chains. The AI-related work - measuring energy demands of open-source models and using machine learning to fill gaps in pollution data - has indirect relevance to AI sustainability discussions but is not framed as governance or policy content.
