When AI Levels Up: Is CSR Ready for What’s Next? | AI EXPLAINED

Melanie Kubin-Hardewig, VP Group Corporate Responsibility at
Deutsche Telekom, is back on the podcast – to share the most
visible changes brought about by AI in the field of CSR (Corporate
Social Responsibility). This includes Deutsche Telekom’s current
CSR-Report. Thanks to AI, vast amounts of global data have been
analyzed by the team and the report itself has been optimized for
AI-readability for the first time. However, AI not only changes
processes, but also its own footprint: the electricity consumption
of AI applications could increase tenfold, and the water
requirements of data centers could reach the level required by
entire countries. In this episode, we speak about the next level of
AI, systemic conflicts of interest, and how CSR evolves in
parallel.
