Machine Learning is great for helping us surface new series on Netflix, for helping us search through the thousands of photos on your phone to find that one of the cute cat you took a picture of all those months ago, or for things such as fraud detection by banks, but can it be used to impact the physical environment to help reduce climate emissions?

Prateek Joshi, the founder of PlutoShift thinks so! PlutoShift uses Machine Learning to help Anhueser-Busch, Dow Chemicals, and others reduce their emissions, so I invited him on the podcast to hear more.

We had a fascinating conversation covering why Prateek decided to tackle climate emissions using machine learning, some of the really interesting solutions they have come up with for their clients, and where they're headed next.

I learned loads. I hope you do too.
