"Yes, the needs in this area will be a problem, but I'd rather bet on AI solving the problem than constraining it and having the problem," Schmidt said.

In 2022, Schmidt founded White Stork, a defense company that develops AI-powered drones.

I guess, the guy does have a solution after all. Just let AI drones kill 90% of humanity, that'll slash emissions quite drastically.
