Thursday 07.11.2024, 18:00 - 19:30



Veranstaltungsort:

Hybrid: Lecture Hall 1180 and via Zoom 

Vortragender
Johannes Leon Kirnberger

AI-enabled technologies have huge potential to enable climate action, from digital twins that model the Earth to algorithms that help us run the future of energy systems and transportation networks. But AI systems, especially the rise of deep learning and large language models, also raise sustainability concerns linked to the natural resources they consume such as electricity and water, and the carbon emissions they produce. All of this begs the question: can AI help save the planet?

Johannes Leon Kirnberger is a policy advisor for AI and sustainability at the AI Unit of the OECD Division of Science, Technology and Innovation (STI). He previously led the program on climate action and biodiversity preservation at the Global Partnership on AI (GPAI) and the International Centre of Expertise in Montreal on AI (CEIMIA). Johannes is a member of the UNEP Expert Group on Digital Tech for Circular Economy, advises the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) on the green and digital “twin transition” and serves as guest lecturer at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) on climate change and AI policy. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Management from ESCP Business School, a Master of International Public Management from Sciences Po, and a Master in International Affairs, Energy and Environment from Columbia University.
