About
Paddy French is a researcher focused on the intersection of environmental sustainability and emerging technologies, with a particular emphasis on the ecological footprint of artificial intelligence in healthcare. His most cited work, "Environmental impacts of artificial intelligence in health care: considerations and recommendations" (2025), critically examines how the rapid adoption of AI in medical settings contributes to anthropogenic resource depletion, pollution, biodiversity loss, and social conflict. French’s major contribution lies in framing AI’s hidden environmental costs—such as energy consumption and e-waste—within the broader context of planetary boundaries, including the urgent need to remain below 350 parts per million of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Though early in its citation trajectory, this paper has already garnered attention for its timely, interdisciplinary approach, bridging health informatics and environmental ethics. French’s work challenges the healthcare sector to reconcile technological innovation with ecological responsibility, offering actionable recommendations for sustainable AI deployment. His research is essential reading for students and professionals seeking to understand the hidden costs of digital health and the imperative for greener, more equitable technological futures.
