Launch event: AI for a planet under pressure
Artificial intelligence (AI) is already driving scientific breakthroughs in a variety of research fields, ranging from the life sciences to mathematics. This raises a critical question: can AI be applied both responsibly and effectively to address complex and interconnected sustainability challenges?
The report "AI for a planet under pressure" explores the potential and limitations of using AI as a research method in eight issue areas.
This is the video of the launch event from 5 November 2025 at Norrsken House in Brussels.
