On January 14th, 2025 MNAEP will be rebroadcasting the jointly presented NAEP and the Department of Energy (DOE) webinar (originally presented on December 9th), that explores the innovative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) within National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) processes and provides insights on DOE’s Policy AI program for responsible AI use. As NEPA professionals face increasing data complexity, AI tools, such as machine learning and natural language processing, are transforming project assessments.
The rebroadcast will be approximately one hour in length. Afterwards, MNAEP will host a Q&A session after with Lauren Schramm, NEPA Manager with Pond and Company.
