Artificial intelligence holds the potential to drive sustainability, from optimizing energy systems to improving resource management and combating climate change. However, the environmental costs of AI cannot be ignored, including the energy demands of training large models and the impact of hardware production on natural resources. This session explores both the opportunities and challenges AI presents for sustainability.
Presenter Jarek Nabrzyski is the founding Director of the Center for Research Computing and Concurrent Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Notre Dame. His research focuses on distributed computing, trusted AI, blockchain technologies, and cyberinfrastructure for science. He has played a key role in interdisciplinary research, collaborating across STEM, social sciences, and the humanities.
