The Environmental Footprint of AI: Measuring and Managing Your Impact
How much energy and water does your AI use, and what can you do about it?
In this session of our AI Ethics Speaker Series, we'll look at the environmental footprint of AI and how to measure and manage the impact of the AI you use and build.
🎤 Speaker
Katie Neck, Managing Director and Founder, Sustained Futures; Official Ambassador to Anthropic, Sustainability and Impact
📅 Date: November 3, 2026, 19:00 CET 💻 Format: Live on Zoom, 60 minutes 🎟️ Ticket: Free
📌 What you'll learn
↳ The true cost of AI: What drives AI's energy and water use, and what it means for the communities that host the infrastructure.
↳ Footprint versus handprint: How to weigh AI's environmental costs against the good it can do, and choose use cases where AI earns its place.
↳ Practical tools to get started: Tips and tools to measure and reduce the impact of the AI you use and build.
📌 Why this matters
AI use is growing fast, and so is the energy and water needed to power it, yet most organisations have little idea of the footprint of the tools they rely on. Using AI responsibly means understanding those costs and making informed choices about where and how to use it.
📌 Who should join
This talk is especially relevant for:
Sustainability and ESG leads
Business leaders and founders adopting AI
AI product and engineering teams
Anyone who wants to use AI without losing sight of its impact on the planet
