Explore AI's environmental costs and governance with women in cleantech and sustainability. Keynote + Q&A + networking.
Sustainability professionals are adopting AI at a lower rate than other industries and women are adopting AI at a different rate than men in the workplace. What’s going on? We’ll talk GenAI impact, industry specific use cases and mindset shifts.
This event features a 45-minute keynote from Madalina Buzdugan on AI's true cost, followed by interactive Q&A. Unlike events selling adoption strategies, this centers women facing "AI or die" pressure while witnessing environmental costs. Madalina covers:
Environmental and social costs: energy, emissions, labor exploitation, bias;
Cognitive load and burnout;
Governance: EU AI Act and its limits
You'll leave with criteria for choosing tools, permission to set boundaries, and concrete actions.
