On Monday, 26 January, from 12:00 to 13:00, we host Professor Farley Nobre for his talk ‘Artificial Intelligence and the Sustainable Development Goals: Understanding tensions and synergies across North–South’.

Farley Nobre is a professor leading AI and Sustainable Systems at the Graduate Program in Business Administration at the Federal University of Paraná (Brazil).

The talk explores the boundaries between artificial intelligence (AI), business, and society from a systemic and paradoxical perspective, emphasising their implications for grand challenges related to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

​​​​​​​It investigates how SDG interactions shape regional priorities, generating tensions and opportunities, thereby supporting policymaking and global sustainability transitions amid AI systems and deep uncertainty.

The seminar will take place on campus in room 3A08 and online.
