Shownotes

With the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence, companies are facing growing pressure to ensure their AI practices are ethical, transparent, and aligned with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles.

But what does responsible AI look like in practice, and how should investors approach this emerging frontier to manage risks and seize opportunities?

Joining us today to unpack these questions is Jessica Cairns, head of ESG and sustainability at Alphinity Investment Management.

The host of The Greener Way is Rose Mary Petrass, senior journalist at FS Sustainability.

Alongside Australia’s national science agency CSIRO, Alphinity earlier this year released ‘Intersection of Responsible AI and ESG: A Framework for Investors Report’ with an actionable toolkit to help investors navigate the accelerating AI opportunity.
