How we leveraged AI to enhance ESG analysis while maintaining human judgment. InferESG, an open-source tool developed with abrdn using FinTech Scotland research grant funding, demonstrates a practical approach to this challenge. Using an AI workflow and multi-agent AI architecture, the system augments analyst capabilities in assessing materiality and detecting potential greenwashing.
We'll cover:

How AI can assist in parsing complex ESG reports and frameworks (Corporate Sustainability Reports, ESG Ratings, TNFD, GRI)
Practical approaches to materiality assessment using AI
Techniques for detecting subtle forms of greenwashing
Real-world validation results from testing with major corporations
Balancing AI automation with human expertise
Open source architecture for community enhancement

The session includes demonstrations of the greenwashing detection and materiality assessment, showing how analysts can interact with the system to investigate ESG claims and verify corporate sustainability statements.
