This collaboration is part of The University of Manchester’sBicentenary Events Series which is a commemorative initiative celebrating 200 years of learning, innovation and research. This series features a variety of events aimed at reflecting on the past, honoring key achievements, and inspiring future generations.
Spending on AI-centric systems is set to surpass US$300 billion worldwide by 2026 – up from US$154 billion in 2023 – as per International Data Corporation (IDC) estimates. Could the rapid uptake of AI, especially Generative AI, impact sustainability & lead to increased greenhouse gas emissions? On the other hand, could companies with more mature sustainability initiatives & capabilities outperform their peers across various vertical segments? According to a recent study by IBM IBV (Institute for Business Value), these outperformers are 43% more likely to outperform their peers on profitability and are 52% more likely to attribute a great impact of ESG efforts on profitability.
Given the critical role of both AI and sustainability, we invite you to join our distinguished speakers for adiscussion at this exclusive event! And what’s more:
