DESCRIPTION:As technological innovation continues to transform our world\, 
 there is growing optimism about AI’s potential to contribute to sustainabi
 lity and climate action. In engineering and urban planning sectors\, AI is
  paving the way for more efficient resource management\, optimized infrast
 ructure design\, and smarter city planning\, all of which are essential fo
 r building sustainable and resilient communities.\n\nHowever\, alongside t
 hese hopes come significant concerns about the unintended consequences of 
 rapid technological advancement. In this year’s keynote\, Prof. Victor Gal
 az will challenge the prevalent notion that AI can be an unequivocal force
  for good in the face of climate and environmental crises. While AI has pr
 omising applications\, its unchecked deployment could accelerate environme
 ntal degradation\, create intensify inequalities\, and exacerbate risks to
  our planet and its inhabitants.\n\nFollowing the presentation\, an expert
  panel will weigh the potential of AI for social good\, against its possib
 le pitfalls. Discussions will focus on harnessing AI’s promise for creatin
 g resilient\, sustainable\, and equitable futures while also considering t
 he ethical and societal implications of its use.\n\n\n	Register\n\n	\n\n\n\n
