The Two Sides of AI: What Does Sustainable Use Actually Look Like?

[ENG SPEAKING] AI has a water bill. And yet, we still use it. In this talk, June Nardiello looks at what sits behind the AI hype: the energy and water needed to run it, what those often-quoted numbers do and don't tell us, and what happens when we start handing over too much of our thinking. But this is not an "AI is ruining everything" talk. June also shares real examples of AI being genuinely useful, from carrying some of the mental load to helping people make sense of messy work. The audience leaves with a clearer picture, a little more hope, and better questions about when AI is actually worth using.
