Episode 3: The role of AI in shaping the future of ESG

Artificial intelligence is reshaping the ESG landscape — but can innovation and sustainability truly work hand in hand?

In this episode of Ashfords on ESG, Associate Zoe Hunt is joined by Commercial Associate Hannah Elliott to explore one of the most transformative forces impacting ESG: artificial intelligence.

They discuss how AI is being used by businesses to meet ESG requirements, enhance compliance and analyse sustainability data, as well as the potential pitfalls of relying on technology in this evolving space.

The conversation examines:

How AI can automate ESG data collection, reporting and verification
The legal and ethical challenges around AI-driven decision making
The risks of bias, inaccuracy and hallucination in AI systems
Differences between the UK and EU approaches to AI regulation
The tension between innovation, sustainability and environmental responsibility

Zoe and Hannah also consider how organisations can balance the efficiency of AI with the need for transparency and human oversight, and what this means for the future of responsible business.
