SURE-AI @ STAR Workshop: The Environmental Cost of AI

AI for sustainability and sustainable AI. On this occasion, we focus on sustainable AI with expert in economics, climate and energy research. The event is in the scopes of the Norwegian AI-Centre SURE-AI and intersects the interests of the Research Thematic Group Unruly Sustainability. In this workshop, experts examine the environmental cost of artificial intelligence. The talks explore how the rapid diffusion of AI affects energy systems and greenhouse gas emissions, highlighting the role of data centers, electricity generation, and policy choices. Together, they shed light on the conditions under which AI may either exacerbate environmental externalities or contribute to more sustainable emissions pathways, setting the stage for a broader panel discussion. The event will be held at Scene Realfagsbiblioteket, Vilhelm Bjerknes' hus on March 26th from 14:00 to 16:30 (possibly a little longer). Registration The registration is free, but mandatory to secure the best logistics.
