Responsible AI Summit Main Conference Day 2 - Tuesday 22 September

9:30 AM Morning Plenary Panel Discussion – The Real Cost of AI: Sustainability, Energy & Accountability

AI’s rapid expansion carries a growing environmental footprint, from data centre infrastructure and hardware supply chains to model training, inference, and everyday user behaviour. Yet much of AI’s carbon impact remains opaque, distributed, and poorly measured. As adoption accelerates, organisations must ask a harder question: what is the true sustainability cost of AI, and who owns it?

This panel moves beyond awareness to break down AI’s carbon use spectrum: infrastructure, operations, and behavioural demand. Speakers examine where emissions concentrate, how to distinguish high-value use from low-value usage, and what practical interventions can meaningfully reduce impact without stalling innovation.
• Measuring emissions across the full AI lifecycle.
• Identifying high-impact vs low-value AI usage.
• Embedding sustainability into governance and daily practice.
