AI and Robotics for Good — Leveraging Emerging Technologies for Impact

​The robotics revolution is here, and it’s easy to imagine how intelligent machines could serve both the planet and its people. But today, most funding and development still flows toward high-margin commercial applications, while many urgent climate and societal challenges remain under-addressed.

​This Climate Week session asks a simple question: what if it didn’t have to be one or the other? What if the same platforms, systems, and incentives advancing robotics in industry could also accelerate deep tech progress for the broader public good? 

​​In this engaging live session, you’ll hear from a robotics platform founder, an impact technologist, and a climate entrepreneurship expert as they explore three key opportunity areas––conservation and ecosystems, labor and safety, energy and infrastructure––and work through what’s standing in the way of scalable, climate-aligned innovation in these critical areas. 

​Speakers:
Eliot Horowitz, Founder and CEO, Viam

​Bar Pereg, Founder and CEO,  PollyLabs

​Ben Soltoff, Entrepreneur in Residence, Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship
