Brian Comiskey, the Director of Thematic Programs for the Consumer Technology Association, and tech strategist David Espindola discussed how artificial intelligence (AI) will continue to shape how businesses operate and its impact on consumers. Comiskey noted that responsible AI is a growing priority for leaders across various industries. Gartner’s research predicts that by 2025, AI will consume more energy than the human workforce, significantly offsetting carbon-zero gains. AI is used for machine learning, automation, and various other processes, and its potential benefits may outweigh its own energy footprint. Comiskey also discussed the environmental focus and guideline standards that are coming into play to help ensure companies are using AI responsibly.
