Heard that AI is terrible for the environment? Or that it’s going to save us all?
The truth sits somewhere in between and it’s changing fast.
Join Sustainable Queenstown for a relaxed Green Drinks evening exploring AI and the Environment, led by AI strategist and Curiosity founder Nadia Ellis.
After attending TED AI in San Francisco last October, Nadia heard directly from leading minds about AI’s environmental footprint and its growing potential to support sustainability.
If your understanding of AI is stuck in 2023, prepare for some timely myth-busting, yes including that water usage stat everyone keeps quoting.
Come along to learn:
- What’s actually changed in AI’s environmental impact
- Which claims hold up and which don’t
- Where AI can support sustainability and where caution still matters
Whether you’re AI-curious, cautiously sceptical, or already experimenting with AI tools, this is a chance to learn, question, and connect with others navigating this rapidly shifting space.
With thanks to our legendary sponsors Shotover Jet, Queenstown Lakes District Council, and Sudima Hotel.
