AI & Sustainability 101: Building a Baseline for Responsible Growth
Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming how organizations operate, creating new opportunities while introducing emerging environmental, operational, regulatory, and governance considerations. This session will demystify key AI concepts and terminology relevant to sustainability, giving attendees a shared vocabulary and foundational understanding of how AI technologies work.
The discussion will connect these concepts to real-world environmental and business implications, helping participants better understand AI’s sustainability opportunities, risks, benefits, and tradeoffs. Attendees will explore AI’s balancing act – from the energy, water, and land use demands associated with data centers and computing infrastructure to hardware, supply chain, and operational considerations.
At the same time, the session will examine how AI can advance sustainability goals through improved data analysis, resource and energy efficiency, emissions measurement, optimization, and better-informed decision-making. The session will also address the evolving state, federal, and corporate landscape and introduce key governance, data privacy, and responsible-use considerations for organizations.
Sustainable Innovation Powered By AI
Building on the foundational concepts explored in AI & Sustainability 101, this interactive session will move from understanding AI to seeing how it can be applied to real-world sustainability challenges.
Through live demonstrations, Neta AI and Turing Labs will showcase how AI-powered tools can support more sustainable product and packaging innovation. Neta AI will explore applications for sustainable packaging, while Turing Labs will demonstrate how AI can accelerate R&D and formulation.
Attendees will see these technologies in action and gain a practical look at how AI can help teams evaluate options, uncover insights, and make more informed decisions as they develop the next generation of products and packaging.
