- **Event Name**: Conference | When AI meets sustainability: environmental, social and ethical perspectives
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 05 Mar, 2026 at 05:30 pm
- **Event Description**: What if Artificial Intelligence isn’t just imperfect — but fundamentally broken? Not technically broken, but ethically. Environmentally. Socially.

In this public conference and round table, we invite you to rethink AI through the lens of environmental justice and sustainability.

In her talk, Aimee van Wynsberghe, Professor for Applied Ethics of Artificial Intelligence &amp; Director of the Institute for Science and Ethics at Bonn University, will introduce Sustainable AI as a framework with two distinct - and often disconnected - dimensions:
? AI for sustainability, which uses AI to tackle climate and societal challenges
? The sustainability of AI, which examines the environmental cost of developing and deploying AI itself

By placing environmental impact at the center of AI design, she asks a crucial question: how can we repair AI to stop reinforcing environmental injustice — and instead help reduce it?

Her conference will be followed by a round table moderated by the journalist Julie Winz with:

- Aimee van Wynsberghe, Professor for Applied Ethics of Artificial Intelligence &amp; Director of the Institute for Science and Ethics, Bonn University
- Katharina Frey, Executive Director of ICAIN, a global initiative to democratize access to advanced AI capabilities for societal benefit, ETH Zürich
- Sylvia Quarteroni, Chief Transformation Officer &amp; Head of Innovation at the Swiss Data Science Center (SDSC) of EPFL
- Rachid Guerraoui, Full Professor, Distributed Computing Laboratory (DCL), EPFL
