SE 07 EP 01: How is AI driving sustainable consumption?

Sustainably Influenced

Welcome back to Season 7 of Sustainably Influenced. This series we are discussing the intersection of technology and sustainability. In today’s episode we will be discussing Artificial Intelligence or “AI”. AI is increasingly being used to drive sustainable consumption, by helping consumers make more informed choices about their purchases and by providing businesses with insights into consumer preferences and behaviours. AI has the potential to greatly enhance sustainability by reducing waste and maximising resource efficiency. I should point out that we need to consider the pros and cons of how AI is driving more sustainable consumption, in order to fully understand its impact and potential limitations. I'm speaking with two incredibly knowledgeable guests, Luc Berlin, founder of Miigle+, an AI-driven social impact tech ecosystem with a mission to turn consumption into cause-sumption and Hugo Empson, Founder of Generous APE, who describes Generous APE as “A style-led conscious platform with a curation of brands and products that ensures consumers are truly making a difference to our planet."
