FARI AI Happy Hour | Sustainable AI, Sustainable ICT, Sustainable Societies
When does Green Tech Enable Systemic Change?
Join us for an evening of networking and discussions on sustainability and greentech at our AI Happy Hour event! This in-person event will take place on Monday 29 April at 17:30 in the FARI Test and Experience Center (Cantersteen 16, 1000 Brussels).
For this session, Jan Tobias Muehlberg - ULB, Ecole Polytechnique, Belgium - will challenge the prevailing narrative of decarbonization focusing solely on technical solutions and discuss giving greater consideration of industrial policy and technology governance to address ecological collapse.
Description: "The narrative towards decarbonising industries and society in the Global North involves renewable energy, smarter grids, smarter consumers. If everything becomes really smart and connected, we can optimise processes and engineer ourselves out of the ecological collapse. In my intervention I will question this narrative and propose to put questions around industrial policy and technology governance above technical solutions."
Is this for you? Administrators, industry professionals and AI enthusiasts are invited to join this session.
A balanced mix of learning and relaxation - Attendees will have the opportunity to delve into sustainability and greentech with Jan Tobias, followed by a casual happy hour with snacks and beverages!
