Artificial Intelligence and Climate Change Workshop Series: David Rolnick

Kleinman Center Energy Forum (Fisher Fine Arts Building, 4th Floor)

Co-sponsored by the Warren Center

September 21, 2023

12:00 PM - 1:30 PM

This event is part of the 2023-2024 Workshop Series, AI and Climate Change: Global Sustainability in an Era of Artificial Intelligence, organized by the Penn Program on Regulation and co-sponsored by the Environmental Innovations Initiative, Kleinman Center for Energy Policy, Warren Center for Network and Data Sciences, and Wharton Climate Center. Professor David Rolnick, Assistant Professor and Canada CIFAR AI Chair in the School of Computer Science at McGill University and at Mila – Quebec AI Institute, will be the featured speaker.

Machine learning can be a useful tool in helping society reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to a changing climate. In this workshop, Prof. David Rolnick will explore opportunities and challenges in machine learning for climate action, from designing new electrocatalysts to monitoring biodiversity. He will also consider how machine learning is used in ways that contribute to climate change, and how to better align the use of machine learning overall with climate goals.

Prof. Rolnick’s talk will draw on his research in this area, including:

Tackling Climate Change with Machine Learning

Sustainable AI: Environmental Implications, Challenges, and Opportunities

This event is free and open to the public.
