AI, Energy Demand, and the Environment: Perspectives on Information Sharing

Register Here

The projected growth in electricity demand from AI-driven data centers challenges climate mitigation, water resources, and low-cost electricity goals. Many research studies and policy responses focus on how to supply the projected electricity needed for growing use of AI while reducing environmental and other costs, but there has been less focus on the demand side of AI use.

This webinar, hosted by the Societal Experts Action Network in collaboration with the Board on Environmental Change and Society, will bring together social science and industry experts to discuss topics related to consumer and corporate use of AI, what role environmental information sharing might play in consumer and corporate behavior, and the insights social science can provide to help achieve the economic and environmental goals of both consumers and firms.
