AI/ML for Planetary Ecological Coordination
AI for Planetary Resilience: A Conversation on Regenerative Technology
While some of the world’s top technologists focus on optimizing ad clicks, climate-driven shocks are erasing trillions in value. It’s time to reframe what advanced technology is for.
Join us for a dynamic conversation with leaders in AI, data systems, and regeneration as we explore how AI/ML can power planetary-scale coordination and ecological resilience.
You’ll hear from:
Amanda Joy Ravenhill, co-founder of Project Drawdown and founder of TMRW, a new coordination platform for ecological thriving
Jessica Groopman, founder of the Regenerative Technology Project, strategist, and analyst of emerging tech
Jed Sundwall, Executive Director and global expert in open data and geospatial systems
We’ll also share an inside look at Work on Climate’s updated strategic direction, and connect you with a peer group of climate-conscious AI/ML professionals.
What You’ll Walk Away With
A clearer sense of how your technical skills can drive systems-level change
Insight into where AI/ML is heading in climate and regeneration
Actionable opportunities to get involved and make impact now
This event is for senior AI/ML professionals ready to move beyond optimization toward building a more just and sustainable world.
