CHaT at the Analytics and AI Summit 2026
Two of CHaT’s core team members will present at the Analytics and AI Summit 2026 in the Community & Ethics track on May 5, 2026, hosted by the UC Center for Business Analytics.
The Hidden Costs of AI
André Curtis-Trudel and David Reeves will examine the often-hidden material and human costs of AI systems — including energy use, water consumption, infrastructure demands, and invisible labor.
Their session asks: as an AI user, how are you balancing the business need for efficiency against its impact on the environment and labor? The presentation analyzes social, environmental, and civic responsibility in AI adoption.
Community & Ethics: AI in the Workplace
Andy Cullison (Executive Director, UC Ethics Center) and Daniel Peat will facilitate a breakout session on ethics, workforce skills, and decision-making in AI-enabled organizations. Their session engages participants in real-world scenarios that highlight how leaders can strengthen human judgment alongside automation.
Key questions include: What skills do you and your team need in an AI-enabled workplace? How should leaders decide when not to use AI?
