abstract = {Assessing the carbon emissions of an electronic device from raw material extraction to disposal requires time-intensive data collection for each component. Now, artificial intelligence agents autonomously generate life-cycle inventories for electronic devices in under a minute and estimate carbon emissions with less than 19\% deviation from expert assessments.},
