About the Conference
Artificial Intelligence (AI) can address all sorts of societal problems while attaining the Global Development Goals. However, the anticipated massive use of AI will severely strain energy resources, creating new problems.
To master this conundrum, new paradigms are required at many levels, from new hardware solutions to regulations for the use of AI and everything in between.
This conference intends to explore the potential of these new paradigms, providing a basis for AI with vastly improved energy efficiencies.
