Sustainable AI Forum: Collaboration & Innovation Across the Value Chain
Demand for AI is skyrocketing, but tomorrow's technology can't be built on yesterday's infrastructure and approaches. Join us for an exclusive gathering during Climate Week NYC bringing together leaders across technology, philanthropy, and entrepreneurship to discuss current innovations, collaborations, and opportunities to accelerate sustainable AI development and deployment.
Together, we'll explore:
How companies are building and deploying sustainable AI, from physical inputs and infrastructure to models and end-user software
Actionable strategies for growing community benefits alongside data center development
Emerging technologies driving sustainability at the compute-energy nexus
