Almost everyone is confused about AI, because of conflicting claims and the speed at which it keeps changing. I start with the scientific basis of current models: how they work, what they can and cannot do, and what that means for your workflow and the value proposition of your team.

The session works for beginners and advanced users alike.

Creating outsized impact
What are your thoughts and emotions about climate change? For most people it is a sense of being overwhelmed by the size and complexity of the issue. Recent heatwaves cause fear and a sense of powerlessness. Younger generations are angry or depressed. Climate Positivity starts from understanding the actual situation: the size of the problem, what causes greenhouse gases, and what already works to mitigate and reverse our emissions. There are powerful and impactful things we can do, specifically at the level of organisations and companies. In this interactive session, Karim shows you how to find these breakthrough approaches, discuss and implement them, and become climate positive, to shape a future with a thriving humanity on a thriving planet.
