Over fifty percent of the global population currently live in cities, which produce 70% of earth’s total greenhouse gas emissions. How can cities become more “climate-smart,” and how can artificial intelligence aid in efforts to live more sustainably?
Who Should Attend (and Why!)
Students, companies, and organizations interested in the impact of artificial intelligence and the role smart cities and communities can play in environmental sustainability should attend. We welcome all knowledge and skill levels, with the goal of surfacing the extraordinary possibilities of an AI–enabled world.
AI for Good is the philosophy that guides and shapes Nittany AI Alliance’s work to advance artificial intelligence to make the world a better place. This work falls under one of four pillars aligned with Penn State’s resources and expertise — education, environment, health, or humanitarianism. This event is focused on the environment pillar.
