David Sandalow | AI for Good: Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions
David Sandolow, Inaugural Fellow at Columbia University’s Center on Global Energy Policy, will present insights from the second edition of the Artificial Intelligence for Climate Change Mitigation Roadmap.
David Sandolow, Inaugural Fellow at Columbia University’s Center on Global Energy Policy, will present insights from the second edition of the Artificial Intelligence for Climate Change Mitigation Roadmap.
Expanding on the initial edition, the roadmap explores how AI technologies can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions in nine sectors including power, manufacturing and transportation. Key considerations include quantifying uncertainty, establishing causal relationships, and leveraging generative methods to unlock incremental and transformative opportunities.
Attendees will gain a deep understanding of the findings and leave with specific, actionable recommendations for how AI experts and others can use AI to help respond to climate change.

Ashesh Rambachan | From Next-Token Prediction to Automatic Induction of Automata
Sequence data is ubiquitous in economics — job histories in labor economics, diagnosis and treatment sequences in health economics, strategic interactions in game theory. Generative sequence models can learn to predict these sequences well, but their complexity makes it hard to extract interpretable economic insights from their predictions.
