Building a Greener Future: The Importance of Sustainable AI

Building a Greener Future: The Importance of Sustainable AI
👋 Hi, I am Mark. I am a strategic futurist and innovation keynote speaker. I advise governments and enterprises on emerging technologies such as AI or the metaverse. My subscribers receive a free weekly newsletter on cutting-edge technology.
