Artificial intelligence is reshaping the world – but at what environmental cost? This panel will uncover the hidden material and energy demands behind AI technologies, from data centres and resource extraction to e-waste and carbon emissions. Bringing together leading researchers and advocates, the event will explore how law, ethics and environmental governance can mitigate AI’s ecological footprint.
