Hosted by Ladies Build With AI

Explore the environmental, social and economic cost of AI in a hands-on World AI Week workshop in Amsterdam on 5 October 2026. Part of World AI Week 2026, this practical four-hour session looks beyond AI hype and productivity gains to ask a more difficult question: what does using AI actually cost? Attendees will examine the energy, water, data, governance and social consequences behind AI systems, and learn how to make more informed decisions when building or using AI products at work. What to expect Rather than framing responsible AI as an abstract debate, the workshop combines awareness-building, practical examples and a hands-on building exercise. It is designed to help participants understand the systems they rely on without making them feel guilty for using AI. During the session, you will: - Develop a clearer picture of AI’s environmental, social and economic costs - Explore simple tracking tools, comparisons and discussion prompts that make AI usage more tangible - Learn to use AI more efficiently, including the practical skill of context-window management - Build a solution during the hands-on portion of the workshop - Leave with approaches you can continue applying and share within your organisation The exact programme will be announced closer to the event. Pizza and drinks will be provided, creating space to continue the discussion and meet others interested in responsible AI, sustainability and practical product building. Who is it for? The workshop takes an accessible, practical approach and is relevant to people who use or build with AI and want to understand its wider impact. This is a “ladies first” event: everyone is welcome, but women will receive priority to attend. The event is organised by Marta from Ladies Build With AI, a community helping women gain practical AI skills by building real-world projects, together with Madalina Buzdugan, a sustainability director who helps fast-growing companies turn sustainability and AI from buzzwords into strategy.
