Green Transition and AI: Utopia or Fool’s Paradise

Autor Harald Knudsen
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 apr 2026
How do we handle the green transition and the transition to a world governed by AI? Science offers analyses and specialized insights. In “Green Transition and AI: Utopia or Fool's Paradise”, Harald Knudsen offers guidance for overview and integration, asking three basic questions:  First, what is the problem – exploring the demands of a transformative green transition and the potentials of AI turning to superintelligent robotized agency. Secondly, why aren’t the problems solved – pointing to delusions, denials and delays, but more fundamentally to conflicting economic interest, inequality and disintegration. Thirdly, Knudsen asks about hope and human agency, bringing in metaphors of top down “war economy” expedients, bottom up “world music” engagement, and “dugnad” collaborative initiatives, including a post-AGI “derivative sector”, outside of an increasingly robotized political-economic base.
