6/6 His approach focuses on mindful digital practices and low impact ways of using AI that reduce overwhelm and create meaningful, sustainable improvements across organisations.
5/6 Speaker Marcus Knight is an AI trainer and consultant who helps organisations use AI in a way that feels clear, responsible and aligned with their values. He supports teams in building practical skills and confidence so they can work more effectively and make informed decisions around AI tools.
4/6 Rather than advocating adoption or rejection of AI tech, the focus is on informed decision-making and applying the same principles of care, precaution, and stewardship that underpin conservation practice.
3/6 From there, it moves into practical guidance on using AI tools more mindfully, with attention to energy use, ethical trade-offs, and long-term impact.

RIBA SE Sustainability Group - How to make sustainability irresistible
www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/riba-se-su...
[4/4] If you’re keen to dig deeper, we’ll be hosting an AI-focused webinar with leading professionals on 5 March, stay tuned for more details.
[3/4] While the open conversation itself can’t be shared, we did run a poll, and some of the results are shared above.
As we continue to navigate this fast-moving space, we’d love to hear your thoughts on AI and how it can be used in a more effective, environmentally conscious, and safe way.
[2/4] Overall, participants were excited by AI’s potential, but also wary of its environmental footprint, ethics, and reliability, prompting the big question: are we really ready to embrace it wholeheartedly?
[1/4] At our recent social, we got stuck into the big question: where does AI actually fit in conservation? The answer? Lots of curiosity, a fair bit of caution, and plenty of questions.
[2/2]… It is being run by the cultural sector, for the cultural sector, and will be relevant for small, medium and large organisations.
Friday March 6th, 9.30 to 17.00 at the British Library.
[1/2] www.eventbrite.com/e/climate-re...
This one-day conference will provide practical strategies, actions and resources to support cultural organisations to prepare - through resilience and adaptation - for the challenges of a changing climate….
