Jorge Vallego
Jorge Vallego is a dedicated researcher and the creator of the H4rmony Project. He has pioneered the integration of ecological awareness into artificial intelligence through the application of ecolinguistics. His work focuses on modifying the narratives generated by AI to promote environmental sustainability, thereby addressing the critical intersection of technology and ecological justice. His innovative approach not only reshapes AI's potential impact, but also aligns it with global sustainability goals, making a significant contribution to environmental justice. Vallego's work primarily connects to Environmental Justice and Human Rights by addressing how AI can perpetuate or mitigate environmental harm. His foundational paper, "Ecolinguistics and AI: Integrating Eco-Awareness in Natural Language Processing," lays the groundwork for the H4rmony Project by arguing for the necessity of embedding sustainable and ecological values in AI systems. This project has developed practical methodologies and datasets, like the H4rmony dataset, to steer AI toward more ecologically responsible outputs. His work demonstrates how AI, often seen just as a technological tool, can be leveraged to promote public interest tech and counteract bias in environmental decision-making processes.

Data center growth in Virginia is causing a huge spike in energy demand, which is currently being met by huge fracked gas generation build-out in Virginia and the Southeast United States. Chesapeake Climate Action Network (CCAN) — the first grassroots nonprofit organization dedicated exclusively to fighting global warming in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. — is working to educate Virginians on data center issues and CCAN Action Fund is working to advance common sense policies to ensure data center energy demand is met with clean energy.
