ADViCE Launch Event

The Event

The UK has set high expectations to become the home for net zero interventions and innovation, as well as the place for responsible artificial intelligence (AI) innovation and adoption. Together, these goals can work in tandem, enabling new AI products and services that can support high carbon emitting sectors to decarbonise.

Artificial Intelligence for Decarbonisation’s Virtual Centre of Excellence (ADViCE) is an essential intervention to accelerate the development of innovative AI technologies for decarbonisation applications, through the facilitation of collaboration and knowledge sharing between key stakeholders.

This event marks the launch of ADViCE with the publication of two reports that will map the ecosystem of stakeholders and define the challenges faced within high carbon emitting sectors.

Registration for this event is for online participation only.

Why attend?:

Online attendee’s will:

• Be the first to hear report findings and insights before wider publication
• Learn more about the opportunities to get involved as part of the ADViCE programme
• Gain a deeper understanding of how collaboration across the AI for decarbonisation ecosystem can support achieving ambitious net zero targets
