Join our People's Panel on AI & Climate
Join us on Wednesday 26 March in Edinburgh to explore how Artificial Intelligence could shape the fight against the climate crisis, and share your thoughts!
We're inviting members of the public to join us for a day of discovery, discussion and debate, where we'll navigate the delicate balance of AI's benefits and challenges in climate action.
No prior knowledge is needed. We'll provide a full wrap-around AI literacy experience, breaking down what we mean when we say AI, how AI technologies work, and its role in both helping and hindering efforts to tackle the climate crisis.
We want to amplify public voices in conversations around AI, and as a Panel Member, you will have the opportunity to shape priorities around AI and climate action. We hope you can join!
