BECC Webinar: People, Data Centers, and AI (oh my!): Exploring the Social, Climate, and Economic Impacts of the AI Boom
June 30 @ 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm EDT
This looked interesting and relevant, so sharing it here. If anyone from the hosting organization is here and wants to be available as a connection please comment! (thanks, Ryan)
Behind the rapid growth of artificial intelligence lies a growing network of data centers that are impacting communities. These facilities can consume vast amounts of electricity, strain local water supplies, and affect the quality of life of people who live near them.
Join the Behavior, Energy & Climate Change (BECC) community for a webinar exploring the behavioral and climate change implications of data centers and AI.
We’ll examine key questions about AI’s impacts and mitigation strategies, including:
- How are data centers impacting priority populations?
- What steps are regulators and policymakers taking to increase transparency, accountability, and protection for individuals?
- How can individuals and organizations reduce the climate impact of AI use?
- What are strategies toward responsible, ethical AI and sustainable data centers with positive societal impacts?
