AI is reshaping industries, but at what cost? From rising energy demands to data security risks, its sustainability is in question. This event explores solutions—balancing AI’s benefits with safeguards and pioneering greener hardware inspired by the brain. Join us to discover how we can harness AI’s power responsibly for a sustainable future.

The AI Butterfly Effect: How Businesses can use AI for Sustainability Responsibly?

Professor Jonatan Pinkse (Professor of Sustainable Business and the Director of the Centre for Sustainable Business at King’s Business School, King’s College London. )

The twin transitions hype portrays AI as a powerful tool for solving sustainability challenges, driving innovation, and reshaping business models to be more efficient and responsible. However, concerns arise over AI’s risks, including its growing carbon footprint, data security issues, and bias. Companies often cut corners in the AI race, ignoring these dangers. In his talk, Jonatan Pinkse introduces "The AI Butterfly Effect for Sustainable Business," a framework to balance AI’s benefits with safeguards, ensuring responsible and sustainable use.

Rethinking Intelligent Systems with Tiny Tech

Dr Adnan Mehonic (Associate Professor in Nanoelectronics )

AI is advancing rapidly, but with rising demands on energy and resources. The hardware powering it may not be best suited for truly intelligent tasks. Inspired by the remarkable efficiency of biological systems like the human brain, memristor-based nanoelectronics offer a path toward faster, greener, and more sustainable AI. Join me to discover how this tiny tech could transform the future of AI.
