The climate crisis doesn't respect borders โ and neither should the solutions. This dialogue brings together AI leaders and practitioners from the US and China to tackle shared sustainability challenges: managing Scope 3 emissions and supply chain footprints, advancing upcycling and circular economy models, and optimizing energy and water consumption โ while honestly reckoning with AI's own resource footprint. As the world's two largest economies and energy consumers, both nations hold an outsized responsibility to shape AI in service of a livable future. Attendees will leave with actionable insights, cross-border collaboration frameworks, and a network of peers committed to turning AI's potential into measurable planetary impact.
We will be joined by a very rich and diverse panel of practitioners and researchers in both US and China intersecting AI, data center, sustainability, community, and regeneration:
