Sustainability Leads Club: The role of cloud and AI technologies in making businesses more sustainable

On Tuesday 1st July, CBRE hosted a Sustainability Leads Club session on how cloud and AI technologies can effect business sustainability.

Christian Sharp from OVHcloud and Francis Hemingway from Sia explored the impact of cloud and AI technologies, along with the sustainable practices businesses can adopt in response. The speakers emphasised the importance of user education of AI, as due to the fact that AI uses 50x more water than a regular Google search, users need to be aware of the environmental impact of their queries and adopt more responsible usage habits.

As Christian Sharp noted, cloud and AI technologies should be harnessed to power "the world of today without compromising the world of tomorrow."

A special thanks to our chair, Eloise Cotton.

Thank you to our speakers and attendees for engaging in the insightful Q&A session, and to our host of this session, CBRE.
