SUMMARY:Data Economy\, AI\, Privacy and Sustainability in times of Climate 
 Emergency
DESCRIPTION:In 2008\, the Internet was already responsible for the 2% of CO
 2 global emissions\, exceeding those of the entire aviation industry. The 
 amount of users and network connections has increased at a whopping pace e
 ver since. As an indication of this: global energy demand related to inter
 net-connected devices is increasing 20% a year. In 2015 ICT already accoun
 ted for 3-5% of the world’s electricity use and it is expected that\, by
  2025\, ICT will consume 20% of the world's electricity\, which would pote
 ntially hamper global attempts to meet climate change targets. Given the g
 rowing significance of this impact on the global economy\, there is an urg
 ent need to raise awareness and ensure more sustainable and responsible de
 velopment whilst harnessing the huge potential for adding value in society
 . This panel will discuss how society can efficiently tackle the critical 
 environmental toll of our current data ecosystem and imagine future sustai
 nable technologies and modes of operating within these technologies. The p
 anel will consider\, among other issues:\n\n1. The hidden environmental im
 pact ofthe current data economy\n2. Materiality of AI and futureenvironmen
 tal costs of automatizing actions\n3. Environmental impact of devices:ethi
 cal and environmental concerns on mineral sourcing \n4. Policy for sustain
 able privacy\, dataeconomy and AI
