Overview

AI TECH TALK at INSEAD Middle East Campus | Sustainable AI: What It Takes to Go from Ambition to Impact

How can organisations deploy AI that creates lasting business value - while contributing positively to society and the planet?

At our upcoming AI TECH TALK, we will examine how organisations are aligning technical excellence, governance and stakeholder engagement to build sustainable, trustworthy AI at scale - and enable responsible growth.

Join Lite Nartey (INSEAD/Saense Strategy), Karim Haggar (Roland Berger), Ronald Richa (Veolia) and Vinika Rao (INSEAD) for a strategic discussion on:

  • The real environmental and social footprint of AI
  • The trade-offs between performance, scale and responsibility
  • How leaders build trust and legitimacy around AI
  • The role of partnerships in delivering impact at scale

This event is part of the AI TECH TALK series - a space for real conversations about AI’s impact on business and society. Hosted at INSEAD Middle East Campus and featuring industry experts and INSEAD faculty, these exclusive events deliver meaningful dialogue, valuable connections and practical insights.

This session is organised in partnership with the INSEAD Hoffmann Institute.
