Tomorrow, Today, Event Series: The AI Revolution - Sustainability

From energy, farming, financial services and government services to manufacturing, retail and transport, artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming every aspect of the economy.

The first event in our brand new Tomorrow, Today series explores how AI is transforming the economy and ushering in a new era of change. AI will soon be as ubiquitous as electricity, impacting every industry sector, improving productivity, reducing costs and creating growth opportunities.

Harnessing AI gives us immense opportunities to repair and leverage our environment for the benefit of all.

In the first of our series Dr Rod Carr, NZ's Climate Change Commissioner, joins us for an event that looks at the challenges we face around:

1. Powering NZ sustainably
2. Leveraging AI to build a sustainable environment
3. The capability to radically reform our Climate Change and Risk Assessment reporting capability to change the way we power our economy.
