About me

I’m Daniel Netzl, an AI Master’s student at JKU Linz and Data Scientist at Siemens Austria. I care deeply about environmental justice and ethical tech. My research focuses on the global impacts of AI - especially the hidden ecological costs and how they’re discussed in Western narratives. I also work on local sustainability projects in my rural community, from revitalizing hiking trails to promoting biodiversity. I believe we need new ideas of progress - rooted in care, fairness, and limits.
