Relive the highlights of the conference "Innovations in crisis communication" organized by the Belgian National Crisis Center on the 2nd and 3th of May, in the context of the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the European Union 2024! Some key takeaways from the conference: 🔹 In a society where innovation is at our fingertips, it's essential to strike a balance between potential and impact ; technology should enhance human skills rather than replace them. 🔹 (social) media analysis through artificial intelligence can help us better understand public needs and personalize crisis communication. 🔹 The unpredictable nature of social media demands constant attention to refining our strategies and maintaining public trust. 🔹 Reliable communication is absolutely crucial during a crisis; every decision has a significant impact. This conference demonstrated that we are collectively moving towards an era where AI and digital advancements are not just concepts, but tangible tools that can help us make a real difference during crises. #NCCN #innovationsincrisiscommunication #EU2024BE #crisiscommunicatie 

When sustainability meets AI – 3 thoughts on potential synergies🌱💻    How can AI support in helping financial institutions to navigate and comply with increasing regulatory pressure related to sustainability?    ◼️𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: Continuous monitoring of the regulatory landscape and identification of changes in sustainability standards and regulations to ensure compliance by timely implementation of requirements.    ◼️𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗸𝘀: Conducting risk assessments by scanning available asset level data to identify potential sustainability risks and consequently align business strategy with the institution's sustainability goals.    ◼️𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗸𝘀: Automatically flagging potential compliance issues and suggesting corrective actions to avoid deviations from sustainability commitments and regulations.    The accessibility of relevant data and rapid processing are key pre-conditions for AI to yield a significant impact in this space. This point was also emphasized during the The British-Swiss Chamber of Commerce 2024 Sustainable Business Summit in Zurich, which Exxeta consultants attended. This event not only triggered the urge to act but also provided participants with great insights on which concrete steps to take.    Let’s take those steps together🌱 #Sustainability #AI #Zurich #Exxeta

As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly ubiquitous in business and governance, its substantial environmental impact — from significant increases in energy and water usage to heightened carbon emissions — cannot be ignored. By 2030, AI’s power demand is expected to rise by 160%. However, adopting more sustainable practices, such as utilizing foundation models, optimizing data processing locations, investing in energy-efficient processors, and leveraging open-source collaborations, can help mitigate these effects. These strategies not only reduce AI’s environmental footprint but also enhance operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness, balancing innovation with sustainability. https://lnkd.in/grRcrSqM
