AI and Circular Economy

IRCAI expresses concern regarding the current pace of exploitation of the Earth. With productive use of AI, we believe that we can change and positively influence human behaviour, the primary contributor to this problem. The Circular Economy Committee will require cooperation between all stakeholders at all levels of governance and society, including AI experts and domain experts.
