Apéro'Info : Water and artificial intelligence

Water, and freshwater in particular, is a deceptively inexhaustible resource. Since 2022, the planetary limits for fresh water have unfortunately all been reached. The issue of sustainable development that preserves this essential resource directly concerns digital technology and artificial intelligence. Firstly, because computer data centres consume a great deal of water to cool their computers. Secondly, because Artificial Intelligence can help to better monitor and manage water.

These are the issues that will be addressed during the following two mini-conferences (20 minutes each, followed by questions):

* Béatrice Markhoff (CITERES laboratory, University of Tours): ‘Is Artificial Intelligence making us thirsty?

* Thomas Devogele (LIFAT laboratory, University of Tours): ‘When Artificial Intelligence analyses data over time: applications to water management and mobility analysis’.

Come and discuss these topics with us, both during these two mini-conferences open to all, and then at greater length during the aperitif that will be offered to all present.
