The AI Talks: Practical applications of AI in Ecology and Energy: From concept to impact 🌱

Cantersteen 47, Central Gate, 1000 Brussels

AI Talks: Implementing AI in Ecology and Energy for Real-World Effects

At this event, we’ll dive into impactful use cases and learn how advanced artificial intelligence technologies can have a positive impact on our planet. 🌍

Afterward, we can discuss the talks and network over a great dinner, overlooking the Brussels skyline!

Join us for three exciting talks:

🎤 How bees and AI work together to map biodiversity

Did you know that pollen brought back to the hives by bees serve as a remarkable indicator of local biodiversity? Charlotte Hansart from BeeOdiversity and Victor Hutse from Superlinear explain how BeeOdiversity leverages AI to make this crucial information quickly and widely accessible.

🎤 Towards traceable and accountable supply chains with artificial intelligence

World Forest ID enables traceable and accountable global supply chains by leveraging unique geo-located plant chemistry, environmental data, and cutting-edge technology. In this talk, Victor Deklerck will explain how samples are analyzed to obtain chemical fingerprints, and how this data is incorporated into geospatial models. This allows us to determine where a product comes from and to verify the claimed origin of a product.

🎤 Smart energy management: it's all about balance

Electrification comes with many challenges. Aug-e leverages data and smart algorithms to actively control “flexible assets”, such as batteries, chargers for electrical vehicles, and modular loads. By employing AI, these assets can optimize energy use and integrate renewable sources, resulting in reduced costs and a greener, more sustainable future.
