AI has become a defining part of the sustainability conversation, but for many corporate water teams, the term still raises more questions than it answers.

Where is the AI? What is it actually doing? How are its outputs checked? When can they be trusted? And does AI lead to better water outcomes, or simply faster analysis?

In this session, José Ignacio Galindo, Co-founder of Waterplan, and Hemant Servia, Senior Water Advisor at Waterplan, will take those questions head-on. Rather than offering a product demo or another high-level conversation about the potential of AI, they will follow the full journey from fragmented raw data to a decision-ready water insight.

Using practical examples across water risk assessment, local-data research, metering and water balance, and reporting, they will explain where AI adds value, where scientific and business judgment remain essential, how outputs are tested and validated, and how organizations can distinguish meaningful impact from AI hype.
