SUMMARY:FREE UKSG webinar: Minimising the environmental harm of AI through principle thinking
DESCRIPTION:This is a fantastic opportunity to listen to expert speakers with no travelling required. This is a free webinar – Please note that advance registration is required. This webinar will be recorded and all registrants will receive a link to the recording after the session.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen\n\n\n\n\n\nTuesday\, June 30\, 2026From 13:00 BST to 14:00 BST \n\n\n\n.. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere\n\n\n\n\n\nOnlineUnited Kingdom \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme \n\n\n\n\n\nFeedback \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\n\n\nContact \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShare \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Event\n\n\n\n\nAI is the fastest adopted technology to date and it has infiltrated every aspect of our personal and work lives. We are beyond whether we should use this new technology\, the question is now how can the impact of AI be minimised while still allowing research and publishing to amplify the direction of the world. In this session Andri Johnston\, Digital Sustainability Lead at Cambridge University Press & Assessment and Prof Daniel Shein\, Associate Professor in Computer Science at the University of Bristol\, will delve into this question through implementing principle thinking. Through case studied from research conducted at the University of Bristol and practical implementation at Cambridge this session aims to produce a balanced view of the AI and sustainability and empower listeners with the knowledge of what can be done to lower AI’s impact. \n\n\n\nDisclaimer: As part of our mission to connect the knowledge community and encourage the exchange of ideas\, UKSG hosts discussions on a wide range of topics affecting scholarly communication. The views and opinions expressed by speakers in this session are their own and do not necessarily represent the official position of UKSG.  \n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n. \n\n\n\nAndri Johnston \n\n\n\nDigital Sustainability Lead  \n\n\n\nCambridge University Press & Assessment \n\n\n\n\n\nAndri Johnston has worked across trade\, education and academic publishing in the digital space for over 10 years. Her personal passion for sustainability finally connected with her day job when she discovered Digital Sustainability. As the Digital Sustainability Lead for CUP&A she and her team do product level carbon emissions reporting using the DIMPACT tool\, and train teams on implementing digital sustainability guidelines in product development. She is leading the business on visualising Scope 3 technology emissions targets and understand the wider sustainability impact of Gen AI in the education and publishing space.

I never experienced any technical difficulties. Due to the austerity measures brought by the recent worldwide events the training budget in my institution was frozen\, so the fact that UKSG webinars are free is really a boon too! \nAnonymous\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe UKSG webinar was fantastic – well-organized\, timely\, accessible\, and with an array of presenters that had insight into the topic \nAnonymous\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGreat to squeeze in so much useful knowledge and information without having to go out to a conference. I could enjoy taking it in with a sandwich at my desk! I felt very empowered afterwards. \nEmma Thompson\, Glasgow Caledonian University\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNB: UKSG reserves the right to alter or vary the programme due to events or circumstances beyond its reasonable control without being obliged to refund monies. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact \n\n\n\nThis is a free webinar – Please note that advance registration is required. \n\n\n\nPlease take a look at our code of conduct \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCancellations \n\n\n\nIf you have already registered and are subsequently unable to attend\, please do not cancel your registration – only active registrations will receive the recording in a follow-up e-mail. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShare this Event\n\n\n\nPlease help us by letting your colleagues and friends know about our event.
