Speaker Panel: Confronting the Climate Crisis in the Age of AI
March 30th, 8-9pm @ Valley Life Sciences Building 2060
AI has created a new focus on energy supply and the impacts of energy production.
Technological optimists frame AI as the universal fix, yet its rapid scaling presents gargantuan climate challenges that threaten to outpace our innovations. Using AI as an example, we’ve convened practitioners and UC Berkeley researchers to explore the interactions among energy, environment, health, and resources. Join us to learn about the issues at the forefront and how you might leverage your career to ensure technology serves the planet rather than exhausting it.
