Summary

As AI reshapes industries and transforms business operations, its environmental and social impacts are under increasing scrutiny. In this webinar, we offer practical insights into how public and private sector organizations can embed sustainability ethics into every stage of the AI lifecycle - from development to deployment to decommissioning. With rising energy demands, rare earth dependencies and evolving regulatory requirements, now is the time to act.

The objective of this webinar is to explore the impact of AI systems on sustainability and examine the interaction - and interdependence - between sustainability ethics, AI development and the underlying need for a strong governance infrastructure.

The agenda includes a look at the growing reliance on AI, the relationship between ESG, sustainability, and AI, as well as the intersection of AI and sustainability, along with strategies for establishing governance to harmonize the two.

This webinar is intended for Compliance and Sustainability leaders - including Directors, Vice Presidents, Officers - as well as professionals working in AI.
