Miniconference: Sustainable data & Ethical AI

The rapid development of digital technologies is reshaping how businesses take responsibility and create value. But with new opportunities come new dilemmas - from AI-driven efficiency gains to growing concerns about data waste, surveillance tech and energy consumption. 

How do we ensure that data and AI are used responsibly – not just efficiently? How do we avoid creating “digital landfills” while accelerating innovation? And how can businesses stay compliant and competitive at the same time?

Join our upcoming miniconference to explore trends and cases on sustainable data and ethical AI - seen through the lens of a trend strategist, a legal expert, a tech & ESG advisor, and a corporate practitioner.
