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 working, what is failing, and what governance frameworks are needed to ensure AI serves the region’s people and planet.
