The World Forum of Accountants (WOFA) will delve into the critical intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and environmental sustainability. The forum will explore AI's transformative potential to address global environmental challenges, such as climate change, pollution, and resource scarcity. By examining AI-driven solutions, WOFA aims to inspire innovative approaches to environmental management and conservation.
While recognizing the immense potential of AI, the forum will also emphasize the importance of ethical and responsible AI development, to ensure that AI is deployed in a manner that benefits society and the environment.
WOFA will also discuss the creation of ethical guidelines, regulations, and standards that promote responsible AI and prevent unintended negative consequences.
Finally, the forum will foster discussions on international cooperation and partnerships to address global environmental challenges through AI. By promoting collaboration between governments, businesses, and academia, WOFA aims to accelerate the development and adoption of AI solutions that contribute to a sustainable future.
About Theme of WOFA:
As the world grapples with climate change and the disruptions of AI, India's philosophy of "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" (The World is One Family) has emerged as a lighthouse. India's successful hosting of the G20 summit on this theme and the launch of the Global Biofuels Alliance demonstrate its commitment to sustainable development. Taking forward, the theme for the upcoming World Forum of Accountants (WOFA) has been finalized as "Accountability Meets Innovation (AI): For a Sustainable Planet".
