Microsoft has been secretly selling bespoke AI services to fossil fuel companies, claiming it can increase their profits while undermining its own sustainability goals.
The tech giant's pitch to ExxonMobil included claims that AI tools could add $1.4 billion to their annual revenue, with $600 million from so-called sustainable production.
Despite its ambitious pledge to become carbon negative by 2030, Microsoft has omitted key details about its partnerships with oil companies that streamline drilling operations.
Microsoft's argument that its technology aids in reducing emissions while increasing drilling efficiency is criticized as fundamentally flawed by environmental advocates.
