SPOTLIGHT EPISODE | The role of AI in sustainability – Part 1

Sustainable Transformation

25-04-2024 • 7 mins

Experts say that we’ve entered the fifth industrial revolution. An age defined by the rapid rise of human-machine collaboration. At the very core of this, is AI.

It’s new. It’s here. It’s everywhere. It’s our society’s newest, latest shiny toy.

And the potential is enormous.

So what exactly can AI do for the environment, and who’s been successful at putting it to good use?

This week, the first of a two-parter, we’ll explore interesting use cases and real-life examples of how brands and businesses are already using AI to supercharge their work in sustainability and reduce their environmental impact.

The Spotlight Series brings you weekly, bite-sized updates and expert insight on sustainability transformation, brought to you by the team behind Sustainability Tracker together with Edge Impact.

Hosted by Kiarne Treacy, one of Australia’s leading expert voices in helping make sustainability simpler for businesses and consumers.
