Futures of AI for Sustainability

In our first collaborative foresight cycle, we gathered a diverse group of experts and practitioners to discover and co-create insights and lay ground for future innovations to uncover new ways for harnessing artificial intelligence for sustainability.

We invited curious minds working with either sustainability, the green transition or AI and machine learning within companies, academia, public organisations and other sectors. Participant in this collaborative foresight cycle worked in a cross-sectoral teams and shared experiences and perspectives, learned from one another and developed new insights and knowledge together.

We hosted a series of workshops guided by our foresight facilitator in which groups of professionals, experts and students tapped into trends and signals, built scenarios, envisioned preferable futures, challenged assumptions and explored alternatives and identified pathways towards more desirable outcomes. The insights and knowledge generated are available to the public in the 'If Only the Lake Could Talk' book and, among others, have informed future activities in the DigIT Hub AI project that this initiative also was part of.
