Senior Leader Roundtable on AI Emissions Transparency

Companies buying AI at scale are uniquely positioned to reshape the trajectory of its growth, but so far, that opportunity is going untapped. With AI electricity demand projected to triple by 2035, corporate leaders urgently need visibility into the environmental footprint of the AI tools they purchase and the data centers that power them. Under the Chatham House Rule, this roundtable will bring together a small group of major corporate buyers of AI to discuss how collective action can drive greater transparency and accountability across the AI value chain, and what a coordinated demand signal could achieve. Together, we will explore how buyers can regain greater control in a rapidly evolving AI marketplace, aligning around practical actions that increase transparency, strengthen buyer influence, and help direct AI's growth toward a more sustainable future.
