AI & Sustainability: Navigating the Double-Edged Sword

Description

The fifth webinar in our 8 part series is called: “AI & Sustainability: Navigating the Double-Edged Sword” and is on April 30th from 14.00-15.00 CET

As AI reshapes industries, its environmental footprint is growing fast - raising urgent questions about balancing innovation with sustainability. While AI can help tackle climate challenges, it also drives massive energy use, water consumption, and carbon emissions.

Key facts:

• 87% of IT leaders worry about AI’s impact, but only 28% have mitigation plans (Salesforce).
• UNEP warns AI’s rising energy demands pose climate risks, urging green AI solutions.
• MIT reports that training large AI models can consume as much electricity as 100 U.S. households daily.
• IBM & EY highlight AI’s role in optimizing energy and climate solutions but stress ethical governance.

💡 Join this webinar to explore AI’s sustainability paradox - how AI can be part of the solution, and what actions industry leaders must take now
