Interogo Group's Global Private Equity's Sustainability Event

For investors, the real risk with AI may have less to do with the technology than with the reaction to it. Data center projects are being blocked, AI-driven layoffs keep making headlines, and politicians who were courting AI investment only a year ago are now asking who will pay for the water, the power and the lost jobs.

At Interogo Group's Global Private Equity's sustainability event, CEO Steven Okun told investors not to wait for regulators to answer that question for them. They can apply the discipline they already use for climate risk: scenario analysis, governance checks and a clear "no, unless" test for new AI and data center investments.

Responsible AI isn't a new discipline. It's responsible investing, applied properly.
