In this workshop, experts examine the environmental cost of artificial intelligence. The talks explore how the rapid diffusion of AI affects energy systems and greenhouse gas emissions, highlighting the role of data centers, electricity generation, and policy choices. Together, they shed light on the conditions under which AI may either exacerbate environmental externalities or contribute to more sustainable emissions pathways, setting the stage for a broader panel discussion.

Time and place: March 26, 2026, 14:00 – 16:30, University of Oslo, Scene Realfagsbiblioteket, Viljhelm Bjerknes' hus.
