,Join the Boston University Institute for Sustainable Energy (ISE) for this spring’s Energy of the Future webinar series as we focus on understanding artificial intelligence’s (AI’s) potential for supporting sustainability. This three-part series will discuss the future of smart technologies for sustainable energy, mobility, and homes, providing insights into the challenges and opportunities ahead. Audience Q&A will follow the panelist presentations. Co-sponsored by the GridWise Alliance, BU Rafik B. Hariri Institute for Computing and Computational Science & Engineering, and the BU Energy & Sustainability Club. Understanding AI’s Potential for Sustainability: Sustainable Mobility The next frontier of sustainable mobility is here. As electric vehicles proliferate, AI has opened up many new possibilities for on-demand shared mobility services—both public and private—that could cut costs, energy consumption, and travel times by reducing congestion. Harnessing this potential poses many challenges, however, starting with how to effectively anticipate and plan for the changes ahead. Because of the rapid advances in AI-based technologies and the growing recognition of climate change challenges, decisions need to be made quickly and dramatic action is required. This webinar will delve into the public and private decision-making process that’s facing us, with the goal of designing practical structures for future mobility and grid systems that evolve in lockstep for optimal performance. Some of the questions addressed will include: What specific AI tools can be used for sustainable mobility, and how should they be evaluated? How is the behavior of travelers affected given their mobility choices (e.g., private autonomous vehicles, shared vehicles, public transportation), and what is the subsequent impact on energy use and emissions? What is the role of urban government and policymakers in these mobility issues? Panelists T. Donna Chen, Assistant Professor, Department of Engineering Systems & Environment, University of Virginia Topic: Autonomous vehicles’ impacts on transportation sustainability Nayeli Rodriguez, Program Director, Mayor’s Office of New Urban Mechanics, City of Boston Topic: Considering AI as the origin, not the destination, of creative and human-centered mobility Pascal Van Hentenryck, Associate Chair for Innovation and Entrepreneurship and A. Russell Chandler III Chair and Professor, H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering, Georgia Tech Topic: Next-generation public transit systems Moderated by Christos G. Cassandras, Distinguished Professor of Engineering, Head of the Division of Systems Engineering, and Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Boston University
