Making AI Nature Positive

A Virtuous Partnership Between the Water Needs of AI and the Planet’s Need to Rejuvenate Its Waterbodies Hosted by the Global Alliance for a Sustainable Planet in partnership with the Govt. of Andhra Pradesh, Attero, Pegasus Capital Advisors, Sow & Reap and Squire Patton Boggs, this session will convene leaders from the AI and data-centre ecosystem, investors, technology companies, governments, farmer's organisations, environmental organisations and practitioners working on natural farming, water restoration and landscape regeneration. We will discuss an ambitious new vision: AI data centres becoming partners in planetary water regeneration by compensating for their water consumption with at least twice as much water savings and conservation generated through nature-based interventions. Join the conversation as we pioneer a truly Water-Positive AI Model. Program: 15:30 – 15:45 | Arrival & Informal Interaction 15:45 – 15:55 | Welcome and framing by Satya S.
