From 13:00 to 14:00 (CET)
Centre International de Conférences Genève - Room 9 (Level 2)
As AI becomes an indispensable tool in tackling climate, biodiversity, and sustainability challenges, its own environmental footprint is coming under scrutiny. The rapid deployment of AI systems demands massive computing power, water, and energy and is raising urgent questions about how to align AI innovation with planetary boundaries. This session explores how finance can reconcile these twin imperatives by channelling capital toward greener AI infrastructure, supporting responsible innovation, and embedding environmental and ethical standards into AI-related investments.
