Switzerland is home to 1,400 glaciers, of Which Aletsch is the biggest, and its here that we find groups of scientists developing new techniques to watch the Ice And Snow and monitor their retreat. Glaciers are Water Reservoirs that we have, which is important for groundwater replation. I think this is the important fact, but also if you lose this mass, you have instability in the mountains, so you have more landslides ongoing, more erosion. It is also a cause of natural hazards, avalanches, if theres a lot of Snow And Rock falls and similar things, if theres not enough snow and the ground destabilises. A very important one in terms of the Energy Transition is the hydropower generation. Hydropower generation uses the water that runs down from the mountains and if there is not enough water, they cannot generate enough power. And if there is a lot of water, a lot of snow, they actually need to know this in advance to plan the generation. For all this, we of course need to know where the
3,500m above sea level, weve come to the high Altitude Research Station overlooking the Aletsch Glacier in the alps.

A potential intelligence is very power hungry. Hows that going to work out in the future. Most of the large companies in losing google the types of training in these large dad to things like getting more efficiency out of existing infrastructure, like power grids, also we are applying ai itself to save power in the data centres. In the end, what these Ai Systems do will save Energy And Power far outweigh what they currently using. People worry about their jobs and job security. How will ai affect employment . I think, like previous big, uh. Sort of technological revolutions, like the internet or mobile, i think its going to also create many newjobs, new types ofjobs that we can barely imagine today. Theres a lot of american investment, theres a lot of investment going on in china. Where does the Uk Sit . Yeah, i think if you look at it, of course, theres the us and theres china, the kind of two superpowers they have the most investment, the most research. But i think, if you look at th
