The AI revolution is underway. Sure, but to what benefit? That's the whole question.
The Luxembourg Sustainability Forum took place on 22 October 2024 and examined this massive technological disruption from the point of view of sustainable development. What are the benefits? How will it impact our society and environment? How can we direct AI innovation towards tackling the major challenges of our time for the benefits of all?
