Day 2: Conscious AI (Conference Day)
Wednesday 15th April 2026
09:45 to 10:05OPENING REMARKSSee moreThe Techxonomy of Sustainability: Unifying the language of Coding & Climate
10:05 to 10:25Conscious AI | TalkSee moreSentience & Sustainability: Aligning AI with Human Values
Artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly intelligent and the question of consciousness is no longer easy to dismiss. Whether it truly experiences or only simulates remains a philosophical topic but what is clear, is its growing role in solving sustainability challenges. However, between uncertainty about sentience and certainty about impact lies the real issue of human values. If AI may one day feel and already acts at scale, the question is not just what it is becoming, but what we are choosing it to serve.10:25 to 10:45Conscious AI | TalkSee moreThe Inconvenient Truths about AI: What the AI Hype Isn't Telling You
An unhinged journey all the way from the middle ages to the hype fueled AI frontier, touching the questions about the technology many have but don’t dare to ask, such as Who is to blame for AI? If there’s an AI race, where is the finishing line? Will investors see ROI, and from where? Will AI agents take all the jobs? Is there such a thing as sustainable, governable AI? How kiasu should we be about AI adoption? Presentation slides10:45 to 11:10Coffee Break & Networking
11:10 to 11:35Leveraging AI in a Warming World | TalkSee moreThe Efficiency Architecture: Building Carbon-aware Infrastructure with AI
Real-time AI systems promise instant insight, but every prediction costs energy, compute, and infrastructure. As organizations demand hyper-local forecasting for logistics, climate adaptation, and operations, the real challenge isn’t just accuracy; it’s efficiency. This talk explores how geospatial thinking can reduce unnecessary computation in spatio-temporal AI. Using hyper-local weather prediction, illustrated through Formula 1 rainfall forecasts across track sectors, we’ll examine architecture patterns like spatial indexing, caching, and lightweight models that make intelligent systems faster, cheaper, and more sustainable. Presentation slides11:35 to 12:00Leveraging AI in a Warming World | TalkSee moreConscious AI for the Physical World: World Models & Sustainability
ChatGPT can pass the bar exam but can't catch a ball. That matters because 80% of the global workforce doesn't work behind a desk. This is why AI for the physical world is the next big thing. But at what environmental cost? At first sight, Physical AI accumulates the burdens of both data centres and manufacturing. This talk explores a new AI architecture that could change the equation: World Models learn like children, predict like physicists, and allow smart systems to solve concrete challenges, some environmental, all while consuming a fraction of the energy. Presentation slides12:00 to 12:25Leveraging AI in a Warming World | TalkSee moreAlgorithms of Hope: Building a Better World with AI

From community garden to mental health, Better.SG is home to more than 40 ongoing projects where AI is at the center of everything they do. Presentation slides12:25 to 12:50Leveraging AI in a Warming World | TalkSee moreAI in LCA: Technical and Ethical Perspectives
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), the methodology used to measure the environmental footprint of products and systems, is increasingly being augmented by AI. But supposed efficiency gains come with real risks that the sustainability community cannot afford to ignore. Our analysis finds that while AI can be implemented in roughly half of all LCA workflow steps, most applications remain research prototypes with unquantified benefits and low real-world adoption. More critically, transparency, accountability, and fairness emerge as high-risk ethical concerns when AI enters the LCA process. The core message: under current limitations, AI should augment expert judgment, support comparability and adherence to ISO standards. Presentation slides12:50 to 13:50Lunch Break & Networking
13:50 to 14:15Conscious Computing | TalkSee moreBuilding Planet-positive Datacenters in Singapore: Balancing AI Power with Planetary Health
AI is leading to dramatic increases in the volume of water and power that data centers consume. This is putting them in the spotlight and causing pushback from communities. Sustainable best practices need to be integrated. Strategic site selection ensures alignment with ecological sensitivities and regulatory requirements, while innovative cooling technologies and water stewardship reduce environmental impact. Renewable energy integration and carbon reduction strategies anchor climate responsibility, complemented by nature-positive approaches that safeguard biodiversity. Equally critical is the social license to operate, earned through transparent engagement with communities and stakeholders and the implementation of these best practices. Together, these elements form a holistic model of a sustainable data center, one that includes environmental responsibility, technological innovation, and social equity.

Presentation slides15:05 to 15:30Conscious Computing | TalkSee moreAlgorithmic Stewardship: Managing the Lifecycle of Responsible AI
AI agents are rapidly becoming ubiquitous, embedded in everyday tools, connected devices, and enterprise workflows. As they increasingly run in the background as alwayson copilots, they also raise new demands for energy efficiency. The electricity consumption of data centers - AI powerhouses – has grown 12% per year in the past 5 years. Is increasing the number and capacity of data centers the only solution to accelerating AI deployment? During this talk, you will learn about the energy consumption of existing AI models and how to cut the computation cost of new models through optimizing algorithms, infrastructure, and hardware without compromising the quality of output.

16:20 to 16:45In Code We trust? Ethics & Transparency in the AI era | TalkSee moreThe Open Blueprint for Trust & Transparency
As more organizations get swept up in the AI wave, what distinguishes the leaders from the laggards would be the "how" not just the "what" of adoption and implementation of AI driven systems of work. Where large corporates have the luxury of assembling teams to look at governance and systems of trust and transparency, how might smaller organizations think about designing integrity, transparency and building trust in AI? Presentation slides16:45 to 17:10In Code We trust? Ethics & Transparency in the AI era | TalkSee moreIT, AI, and the ocean: friends or foes?
In this talk, Dr. Simon Schillebeeckx discusses the complex relationship between IT, AI and the health of the ocean. While the knowledge gained through AI has been used meaningfully already to help protect coral reefs and advances in robotics are enabling the cleaning of the ocean bed, the rising energy footprint of the technology also accelerates climate change with nefarious consequences for ocean health. IT solutions can be used to better monitor changes in the ocean while some companies are also deploying APIs to boost ocean health by linking loyalty to ecosystem restoration.
