Main Stage
Digitalisation & AI for Net Zero

From optimising energy grids and supply chains to accelerating innovation and improving manufacturing efficiency, artificial intelligence is already reshaping the path to a low-carbon future.

Its transformative potential could unlock breakthroughs across industries, but it also comes with risks. As data centre demand surges and environmental impacts rising, the challenge is to ensure AI becomes a driver of innovation, resilience and abundance rather than a source of new emissions.

  • How can the environmental costs of AI be minimised?

  • What guardrails, standards, and innovations are needed to align AI’s growth with global net zero goals?
