Elon Musk's Global Warming Solution: Concerned about rising temperatures and global warming worldwide, Elon Musk has now put forward a unique but controversial proposal. Musk says that a group of AI-controlled satellites will gradually reduce sunlight falling on Earth to control global temperatures. He claims this technology could prove to be a revolutionary step in combating climate change. However, this proposal has sparked a major debate on social media: is it safe to put a natural element like sunlight under AI control?
What is Elon Musk's Plan?
Musk wrote on the social media platform X, "Solar-powered AI satellites can continuously monitor and adjust the energy coming from the sun. With small changes, the Earth can be saved from global warming."
AI-controlled solar shield system
Under this plan, thousands of smart satellites would form an AI-controlled solar shield system, balancing sunlight before it reaches Earth. However, this idea is currently only a proposal, and many questions are being raised scientifically about its feasibility and risks.
'What if something goes wrong?'
Musk's statement sparked a flood of reactions on social media. One user wrote, "Will AI now decide how much sunlight reaches humans? What if something goes wrong?" Another user described it as "planetary engineering, not climate tech." People wonder how this system will ensure equal sunlight for all countries and seasons. Many experts fear it could lead to geographical and political disputes.
Excessive use of AI itself could accelerate global warming
According to the Energy Transition Outlook report by energy analysis company Wood Mackenzie, the excessive use of AI itself could accelerate global warming. The report warns that global temperatures could rise by 2.6°C by 2100. AI and electrification will increase energy consumption, which could slow decarbonization and jeopardize 2030 emissions targets.
Thorough research is essential
Elon Musk, associated with Tesla and the solar energy business, has repeatedly warned that global warming could prove disastrous for humanity. His new "AI Satellite Project" is another bold and futuristic idea in this direction. However, experts believe that thorough research on the scientific, technical, and ethical aspects of this idea is essential before implementing it.
