Contents
Can we use AI to combat global climate change? How can advances in machine learning and data science help to monitor climate crises and to conserve nature? What is the role of AI in reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the manufacturing industries, transportation infrastructure, agriculture, and power sector? In this seminar, we will develop and discuss future perspectives of AI for sustainability.

However, current advances in machine learning, particularly deep learning, have led to an exponential increase in computational cost and thus significant carbon emissions. In this seminar, we will learn about important aspects of improving the sustainability of machine learning algorithms.
