Building the foundations for sustainable AI

Ludlow House, New York

Session Overview

As demand for AI accelerates, data centre infrastructure is rapidly becoming one of the defining sustainability challenges of the decade. Public discourse is focused on AI's environmental footprint — but there is a significant opportunity to move beyond problem definition and toward collective action.

This working dinner convenes a cross-sector group of leaders from technology, data centre operators, investors, city leadership, foundations and sustainability organisations to explore how the industry can coordinate around the environmental and community impacts of data centre growth.
