Norway Wealth Fund CEO Says AI Ends the Need for Climate Hires In this Article Norges Bank Government Pension Fund Global -- Follow Norges Bank -- Follow Anthropic PBC Private company Contact us: Provide news feedback or report an error Confidential tip? Send a tip to our reporters Site feedback: Take our Survey By Frances Schwartzkopff and Heidi Taksdal Skjeseth October 22, 2025 at 8:00 AM GMT+2 Updated on October 22, 2025 at 1:25 PM GMT+2 Save Listen 4:31 Norway’s sovereign wealth fund, the world’s biggest, is giving artificial intelligence a key role in protecting its $2 trillion portfolio from climate risk. Norges Bank Investment Management will use AI for a range of tasks including to “extract signals from company dialogues,” according to its 2030 Climate Action Plan. The fund also intends to use AI to improve decision making, and “to strengthen investment processes across teams,” ultimately helping it identify corporate winners and losers, it said. Tangen has made no secret of his enthusiasm for AI. In an interview in May, the 59-year-old former hedge fund manager said he’s been running around “like a maniac” trying to get staff to use the technology, even going so far as to say that employees shunning AI “will never be promoted.” At Oslo-based NBIM, AI is already proving useful in determining whether the fund’s climate policy is working, Tangen said. That includes evaluating the effectiveness of its engagement with portfolio companies, crunching data to guide recommendations on proxy votes and generating quantitative climate scores, he said. “Portfolio managers get this information directly in their trading systems,” Tangen said. AI can help identify “transition winners,” which he describes as companies that are “decarbonizing faster and more effectively than the market expects.” During the press briefing, Tangen was asked to comment on ChatGPT’s advice that a long-term investor keen to manage climate risk should reduce its exposure to fossil fuel companies. “We disagree, we won’t do it,” he said. Tangen then asked the head of his climate team, Eivind Filflet, to run the same question by Claude, the language model developed by Anthropic PBC. Claude’s response laid out the case “for continuing engagement,” he said. “But Claude knows me,” Filflet said. Tangen said the example demonstrates why it’s still important to have a “human in the mix.”

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

I was going to do a joke about all the people who could run for Senate in Maine but when I looked for a picture of werewolf Preacher from Stephen King’s Silver Bullet this came up and “before & after” is really making me smile. It’s like he got werewolf plastic surgery and is showing it off on tv

Black lung is still killing America’s coal miners. Last week, a group of black lung patients made the long journey to Washington D.C. with a simple plea for Trump’s Department of Labor: enforce the silica rule, and stop this plague.

My report for @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...
Trump Has Handed Coal Miners a “Death Sentence.” But They’re Not Going Without a Fight.
After the government betrayed them by refusing to enforce a crucial workplace health rule, a group of coal miners traveled to DC to put Trump on notice.

RFK is undoing human subjects protections so he can conduct placebo trials of vaccines. That means infecting people knowingly. I wonder who will “volunteer” for these trials? If history is any guide, a lot of incarcerated and other powerless people.

“No public criminal charges have been filed against anyone in connection with the raid … The @chicagotribune.com has been able to confirm the identity of only one immigrant taken into custody by federal agents that night: a 41-year-old pizza delivery man … who has no apparent criminal history.”
They were already living in one of Chicago’s worst apartment buildings. Then came the ICE raid.
In what appears to have been a warrantless operation, the federal government will not say how many people were detained, who remains in custody and what happened to the children.

Look, it’s really straightforward to get a publisher as a new name indie in 2025. Simply do 95% of the work making and marketing your game, and if your metrics are trending towards almost certain success, a publisher will swoop in to promise the remaining 5%, deliver 3%, and collect 75%

Seems to me like "revolutionary" is a label which should be applied retrospectively and not in the moment of its supposed revolution

Many "revolutionary" inventions fail to live up to the hype, many inventions not hailed as revolutionary wind up being revolutionary in hindsight.

Of course women don't like the Cybertruck.

Women only want one thing, and it's a vintage Subaru Sambar kei truck!
