CILIP Midlands Network meeting | Sustainability in the Age of AI

Steve Williams (University of Leicester) will join the first half of this CILIP Midlands Network Meeting to prompt discussion about how library, information and knowledge professionals integrate AI to drive environmental and social impact while managing resource use. By 2028, AI could account for over half of data centre electricity demand and consume as much power annually as 22% of all households. This highlights the need for sustainable design and governance in AI systems.

The second half of the meeting will focus on training plans, professional development and updates on projects..
