Sustainable robots: What does it take for a robot to be sustainable? | AI for Good Webinar

Many robotic applications have the potential to help achieve sustainability. AI-powered robots can contribute to sustainability in different sectors, helping to fight climate change, recycling, decreasing waste in manufacturing, minimizing chemicals in farming, etc., as well as in social applications.

Although robots hold great promise for advancing the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, the rapid increase in the demand for robots poses important questions regarding sustainable production and the future disposable of robots, ultimately asking whether the use of robots themselves could outbalance any positive impact they are supposed to achieve.

Join this AI for Good webinar to discuss these two perspectives and find out if robots are the solution to sustainability and what it takes for a robot to be sustainable.

What is AI for Good?
We have less than 10 years to solve the UN SDGs and AI holds great promise to advance many of the sustainable development goals and targets.
More than a Summit, more than a movement, AI for Good is presented as a year round digital platform where AI innovators and problem owners learn, build and connect to help identify practical AI solutions to advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
AI for Good is organized by ITU in partnership with 40 UN Sister Agencies and co-convened with Switzerland.
