We are in a race against time to stop global warming. Generative AI and AIML broadly are essential tools to build and deploy more quickly. At this half-day event you'll hear from 6 startups on how they use Generative AI/AIML to speed up product builds, save money, help their customers cut emissions, and create climate tech solutions that were previously unimaginable. You will come away with insights and inspiration on:
Building new generative AI foundational models based on the natural world
Using Generative AI to discover and design sustainable materials
Using AIML to derive precise asset-based climate risk insights
Using Generative AI to create a virtual agent that can autonomously operate buildings HVAC and reduce carbon emissions
Using Generative AI to categorize, create synthetic training data, and create accurate carbon footprints of purchases
After the presentations, you are invited to a facilitated networking salon and a sunset cocktail party with stunning views of Rockefeller Center and the Manhattan skyline.
