AI in the green digital ERA: Quo vadis?
The digital transformation and the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) can bring solutions to many societal challenges. Benefits are expected in different sectors, such as personal healthcare, smarter transport services, efficient manufacturing, and optimized energy exploitation. In light of the German EU Council presidency, we want to focus on the added value of multidisciplinary research and innovation activities in the field. How can we avoid working in silos and overcome the limits of current digital technologies in terms of capacity, speed and energy consumption? Are there policy steps that should be prioritized at a European level to boost the potential of AI in the green digital ERA? Our high-level guests from politics, science and industry will share their insights and their experiences with you.
