The AI Impact Pre-Summit Conference on December 3, 2025, in Silicon Valley brings into focus a defining challenge: Sustainable Intelligence — Building AI Systems That Endure, Evolve, and Respect Planetary Limits. As AI scales in power, demand, and global influence, the question is no longer only how fast it can advance—but how responsibly it can operate, and how long our world can sustain its growth. This session shifts the focus from raw acceleration to resilience, resource-awareness, and long-term system design.
Opening Remarks by Jovita Neliupšienė, Ambassador of the European Union to the United States. A seasoned diplomat and a committed European public servant, Ambassador Neliupšienė brings decades of experience in foreign policy, EU governance, and international cooperation. Her address sets the tone for a timely dialogue on transatlantic alignment, democratic values, and technology’s role in shaping a resilient global order.

Bedford Endowed Chair, Political Science, Director, Berkeley APEC Study Center, Affiliated Professor, Haas School of Business, a leading voice in responsible technological stewardship, the dialogue examines how to build intelligent systems that minimize their footprint, optimize their lifecycles, and harmonize innovation with environmental and societal stability.
