Can AI Help Reduce Emissions of Greenhouse Gases?
January 30, 2025
12:00 pm - 1:30 pm est
Please join the Center on Global Energy Policy (CGEP) at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs for a special webinar “Can AI Help Reduce Emissions of Greenhouse Gases?” A new 17-chapter volume by CGEP Inaugural Fellow David Sandalow and a team of 24 co-authors explores that question in a 90-minute virtual discussion.
The Artificial Intelligence for Climate Change Mitigation Roadmap (Second Edition) provides introductions to both AI and climate change, examines the potential for AI to help reduce emissions in eight sectors (including the power sector, transport sector, and manufacturing), and analyzes cross-cutting issues including the role of large language models. The Roadmap also explores the rapidly growing power demand for AI and the extent to which computing operations for AI will increase emissions. Please join us for a presentation of the Roadmap and an opportunity to ask questions to the Roadmap’s principal co-authors.
This webinar will be hosted via Zoom. Advance registration is required. Upon registration, you will receive a confirmation email with access details. The event will be recorded and the video recording will be added to our website following the event.
This event is open to press, and registration is required to attend. For media inquiries or requests for interviews, please contact CGEP Communications ([email protected]).
