A practitioner-led conversation on where artificial intelligence is genuinely moving the needle on sustainable development — and where it is creating new fault lines.
Asia-Pacific is simultaneously the world’s fastest-growing AI market and its most climate-exposed region. From smart grids in Singapore to AI-driven crop advisories in rural Indonesia, the technology is already being deployed at scale — not just piloted in labs. Yet the same tools that promise to accelerate decarbonisation and financial inclusion also concentrate power, consume vast energy resources, and risk automating away livelihoods in economies still building their social safety nets.
The question for policymakers, investors and businesses is no longer whether AI will shape the region’s sustainability trajectory, but how — and for whom. Hype has outpaced governance. Deployment has outpaced accountability. And the communities with the most to gain or lose from these systems are rarely at the table when decisions are made.
This webinar cuts through the noise to examine what is actually working, what is failing, and what governance frameworks are needed to ensure AI serves the region’s people and planet. Join us as we explore:
- Which AI applications in energy, cities, agriculture, health and finance are delivering measurable impact in Asia-Pacific
- The governance gap: who is setting the rules for AI deployment in the region, and whether existing frameworks are fit for purpose
- The accountability question: who pays for AI infrastructure, who captures the value, and who bears the risks
- What responsible AI for sustainability looks like in practice — from procurement standards to impact disclosure
- How enterprises, investors and governments in the region can align AI deployment with net-zero and SDG commitments
This event is free to attend. A short survey is included as part of registration.
