Moving beyond net zero: Can AI tools cure carbon tunnel vision?

Challenge what you know about AI in the built environment.

The AI explosion is creating opportunities and leaving questions unanswered.

Is AI bad for the built environment and biodiversity? How can we use AI to improve sustainability outcomes? What can you do to ensure AI creates a net-positive impact in the built environment? How can designers and industry professionals prepare for the inevitable AI disruption?

Led by Megan Greig, Head of Digital Design at Elliott Wood, this session answers these questions and uncovers hidden risks AI poses for the built environment as well as potential solutions.

Drawn from spearheading industry-shifting initiatives such as IStructE’s Structural Carbon Tool (https://www.istructe.org/resources/guidance/the-structural-carbon-tool/) and Full Circle to Reuse guide (https://online.flippingbook.com/view/915371497/), Megan brings on-the-ground insight to the conversation. From making sense of AI to inspiring change in the built environment, this session is essential for those seeking to drive an environmentally responsible future within the industry.

Three Key Points:

Understand the current focus of AI technology deployment across the built environment industry.|Highlight how AI technology may be deployed to better understand the true cost our industry has on the environment.|Explore a paradigm shift from business as usual to a regenerative model using AI.
