Student activists disrupted a panel hosted by technology company NVIDIA on Thursday in New York City, interrupting a discussion that was part of the city’s Climate Week events.
The protest took place during a session focused on the role of artificial intelligence in addressing climate change, with NVIDIA representatives on the stage when the demonstrators entered the venue and voiced their opposition.
Climate Week, an annual series of meetings and forums organized by the United Nations and hosted in New York, brings together governments, businesses and civil‑society groups to discuss strategies for reducing greenhouse‑gas emissions.
While the exact demands of the students were not detailed in the brief report, similar actions in recent years have called for greater corporate accountability and for technology firms to align their AI development with climate‑friendly practices.
The interruption highlighted ongoing tensions between climate activists and major tech companies, underscoring the growing scrutiny of how emerging technologies are deployed in the fight against global warming.
