AI Forum Sustainable AI Series

Sustainability isn’t just an emissions question — it’s system-level. As AI adoption accelerates, Aotearoa faces distinct sustainability considerations: energy use and constraints, economic resilience, digital sovereignty, social licence, and the long-term capability we build as a nation.

As part of our AI Blueprint work, we’re convening national-level conversations to help leaders, practitioners, and decision-makers navigate the opportunities we have and surface the challenges we need to take into account as we build our vision of ‘Leading AI for a thriving Aotearoa’ that is innovation, responsible and inclusive.

Join an expert panel discussion and be there as we launch the AI Governance website Guide for Sustainable AI.

What you’ll get from the session

Attendees can expect a practical, NZ-relevant conversation covering:

• What we mean by “sustainable AI”, the challenges, opportunities and choices we have as a nation

• Aotearoa’s unique risks and opportunities as we build our future with AI

• Practical guidance: A first look at the Governance Guide for Sustainable AI and how to use it
