Washington AI Network with Tammy Haddad

In this special episode recorded at the Élysée Palace in Paris, host Tammy Haddad speaks with two female forces at the forefront of AI and sustainability. Thaima Samman, president of the European Network for Women in Leadership and a partner at SAMMAN Law and Corporate Affairs, offers an inside look at Europe’s bold attempt to regulate AI while still stoking innovation—and shows why empowering women in tech is non-negotiable for true progress. Dr. Sasha Luccioni, AI and climate lead at Hugging Face and a Time100 AI honoree, discusses the environmental challenges linked to AI, along with strategies for developing and deploying AI solutions to spur climate action and encourage long-term sustainability. The conversation is a preview of February’s AI Action Summit, which will bring together business leaders, policymakers, researchers, and experts to explore the future of AI—focusing especially on how to incorporate inclusivity, ethics, and sustainability into its development.
