About the Sustainability Research Conference Series

The Stanford Initiative on Business and Environmental Sustainability Research Conference Series is hosted by Stanford Graduate School of Business and the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability.

Stanford Graduate School of Business is hosting a one-day conference on sustainable and responsible operations in the age of AI. Topics discussed during the day include, for example, the use of satellite imagery and geospatial analytics to monitor forests, quantify biomass, and improve carbon and land‑use accounting; the use of novel data combined with analytics and AI to improve efficiency and resilience and foster sustainable value chains; the role of AI in planning and operating energy systems, but also the energy challenges associated with training and operating large-scale AI models; and the social and institutional dimensions of sustainability AI, including governance, fairness, accountability, and transparency.

More details and agenda are forthcoming.
