About

Victor Galaz is a leading scholar at the intersection of artificial intelligence, systemic risks, and sustainability. His work explores how AI-driven automation, predictive analytics, and sensor technologies are reshaping our collective ability to perceive and respond to climate and ecological crises. Galaz’s most cited paper, “Artificial intelligence, systemic risks, and sustainability” (2021, 442 citations), provides a foundational framework for understanding how these technologies can both mitigate and amplify global environmental threats. He also contributes to debates on algorithmic governance, notably in his response to Cantrell et al. on the need for algorithmic transparency in what he terms the “New Wilderness.” Galaz’s research is pivotal for students and researchers grappling with the dual-edged nature of AI in environmental management, emphasizing that without transparency and careful design, these tools risk creating new, unforeseen systemic vulnerabilities. His work has influenced policy discussions on digital governance and ecological resilience, making him a key voice in the emerging field of AI and sustainability.
