The CSO’s AI reckoning: Fernanda Torre on governance, energy and strategic value
“We are in the Wild West when it comes to AI at the moment."
Artificial intelligence is quickly moving from innovation pilot to operational reality, and for Chief Sustainability Officers, that shift is raising a fundamental question: how do you govern a technology whose environmental and social impacts are still only partially understood?

It is a sustainability issue, a resilience issue and, increasingly, a governance issue.
