Building With Intention: Climate Risk, Supply Chains, and Responsible AI
**This is a private workshop hosted within Node's FOAK Summit. You must be registered for both the FOAK Summit and this workshop in order to attend**
Hosted by Fictiv, part of MISUMI.
Climate risk is reshaping how companies operate — from where they source materials, to how they invest, to how they think about resilience. This workshop takes a real-time pulse on where the room actually stands on these forces, then works toward something actionable.
Workshop flow:
Introductory remarks from Nate Evans, Head of Climate at MISUMI, Co-Founder of Fictiv.
Pulse check: AI adoption for climate resilience and climate-driven supply chain risk.
Discussion: How tariffs and trade conflict expose climate vulnerabilities of American dependence on foreign markets for materials and energy.
Discussion: A look at physical AI — robotics, automation, and real-world sensing — and how it's being deployed responsibly to mitigate climate-driven supply chain risk.
Discussion: What does it mean to build and deploy AI with intention?
What to expect:
A real-time read on where peers across the room stand on AI adoption and supply chain risk in a climate-constrained world
A practical framework for thinking through climate-related trade exposure and geographic dependence
Concrete examples of physical AI being deployed responsibly to mitigate climate and supply chain risk
A sharper point of view on the culture and resilience they want to build, tested against real input in the room
