* When firms’ incentives align with reducing emissions (for example, through efficiency gains, regulatory compliance, or high GHG prices).
 
In particular, ML can potentially reduce global emissions by helping to streamline supply chains, improve production quality, predict machine breakdowns, optimize heating and cooling systems, and prioritize the use of clean electricity over fossil fuels<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Kazi|first=Rubaiat Habib|last2=Grossman|first2=Tovi|last3=Cheong|first3=Hyunmin|last4=Hashemi|first4=Ali|last5=Fitzmaurice|first5=George|date=2017-10-20|title=DreamSketch: Early stage 3D design explorations with sketching and generative design.|url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1145/3126594.3126662|journal=Proceedings of the 30th Annual ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology|location=New York, NY, USA|publisher=ACM|doi=10.1145/3126594.3126662|isbn=978-1-4503-4981-9|volume=|pages=|via=}}</ref><ref>Richard Evans and Jim Gao.
