Re: Welcome to the Web & AI Interest Group (WebAI) - Please introduce yourselves.

Hi Fabien and WebAI,

I am Tzviya Siegman, Team Contact for the Sustainable Web IG [1]. I also 
work on Member Relations for North America.

I am interested in exploring the impact of AI on the planet as well as 
ways to make it more sustainable. The Sustainable Web IG is drafting the 
Web Sustainability Guidelines [2]. You can filter the guidelines to see 
which ones pertain to AI [3]. It's important for us to recognize the 
reality of a world with AI and work within that attempt to mitigate 
growing risks to the environment.

Tzviya
