AI FUTURE IN A WORLD WITH LIMITED RESOURCES…

Can AI be a driver of a more sustainable future, or will its rapid development create challenges that we won’t be able to control? Tech giants are already racing to reduce the ecological footprint of artificial intelligence, but are their solutions enough? At Greencajt, we bring you a lecture from one of the most provocative voices in the tech industry – Brett StClair, former Google executive with over a decade of experience in innovation and sustainable tech solutions. Known as a “rebel technologist”, Brett doesn’t settle for superficial answers.

Under his leadership, Google became a pioneer in the development of technologies such as Google Cloud and artificial intelligence, shaping the digital reality we know today. His later work at Barclays gave him a unique insight into the application of these innovations in global banking and various industries, which, along with numerous successes, earned him a reputation as one of the most prominent AI and tech patrons, known for his ability to recognize the potential of technology and its application in a broader business context.

In his presentation, he will reveal the true cost of artificial intelligence, from the resources required for its development to the potential for reducing energy consumption through smarter solutions. Through concrete examples, we will explore whether AI can become an ally in sustainability or if it will turn into one of the biggest polluters of the digital age.
