Join us for Enterprise Tuesday
AI is often viewed as a threat to humanity, but there is a brighter side to it. It will change how we do things so holds the potential to drive innovation and help us achieve a sustainable future.
Entrepreneurs have the opportunity to leverage AI in order to contribute positively to the environment and promote social and sustainable practices.
In this session, we will considering the significant role that businesses play in addressing their sustainable goals, can AI play a more impactful role in enhancing corporate responsibility? And how can AI itself ensure that AI is used and developed sustainably? For example – a single ChatGPT query uses nearly 10 times as much energy as a typical Google search (report by Goldman Sachs).
Prepare for an evening of enriching discussion, networking, and the chance to further engage on this vital topic over drinks.
