Sasha Luccioni, Tim Christophersen & Théo Alves Da Costa: Who Does AI Serve? | Panel

Who Does AI Serve? - Panel Artificial intelligence is accelerating rapidly, but the central question remains: who does AI serve, and who is left carrying the costs? This session connects three realities that are too often discussed separately: the environmental footprint of AI, the governance choices that determine accountability, and the power dynamics embedded in data, language, and institutions. We will move from diagnosis to concrete levers: how to measure and reduce impacts, how public and private procurement can set standards, what transparency and enforcement can realistically achieve, and how open, community-governed approaches can rebalance control over data and systems. The goal is clear: shape AI so it serves people and the planet, rather than reinforcing existing inequalities.
