Can AI Save the Climate? Czech-German Conference on the Potential of Artificial Intelligence for Climate and Environmental Protection
November 4 | 14:00 – 20:00 UTC+1
During the conference, innovative projects will be presented that utilize AI-based solutions for better climate protection, more accurate weather forecasting, prevention of natural disasters, optimization of processes, and reduction of energy consumption in industry. We aim to discuss these questions and challenges at the next Czech-German Climate Dialogue with leading experts from both countries. The conference will take place on November 4, 2024, at the CIIRC CTU premises from 14:00 to 20:00.
The event is held under the patronage of the Czech Minister of the Environment, Petr Hladík. The conference will be simultaneously interpreted from German to Czech.
