Using AI responsibly means
accounting for its true cost
We use AI. We are aware of its environmental footprint. And we believe that choosing not to address that would contradict everything LiminalX stands for.
Before a single cent is taken as profit, we pledge to offset our AI carbon footprint.
This is not a future aspiration or a target we will revisit when we are larger. It is a founding principle, written in from the beginning. The use of AI tools in building and running LiminalX carries a real energy cost. We accept that responsibility unconditionally — and we act on it first, not last.
We see the impact clearly
AI has an energy cost that is easy to ignore when the outputs appear on a screen. Training models, running inference, storing data — these are physical processes with carbon consequences. We don't look away from that.
Healthcare advocacy means planetary advocacy
We exist to advocate for better healthcare outcomes for all. It would be a contradiction — not a nuance — to pursue that goal while contributing to an environmental burden that itself drives disease, displacement, and inequality.
Offset before profit. Always.
Carbon offsetting is imperfect and we know it. But it is the honest, immediate action available while better alternatives mature. We commit to it without condition — not as a marketing statement, but as an operational principle with financial priority.
We ask better questions in healthcare AI. One of the better questions is this: if the technology we advocate for contributes to a planet that is harder to live on, have we actually helped? The answer shapes everything we do.Paul Naine · Founder, LiminalX
This is a living commitment
We will update this page as our practices evolve, our footprint grows, and better tools become available. If you have expertise in sustainable AI infrastructure, verified carbon programmes, or environmental governance and want to help shape how LiminalX approaches this — we genuinely want to hear from you.
