We curate most relevant posts about Sustainability & Green ICT on LinkedIn and regularly share key takeaways.
This edition addresses the escalating environmental impact of digitalization and Artificial Intelligence (AI), specifically focusing on the massive energy and resource demands of data centers. Experts emphasize the urgency of adopting sustainable AI and green computing practices, which encompass everything from optimizing individual digital habits and software efficiency to building energy-efficient data centers powered by renewable energy. Several contributors highlight the need for greater transparency and accountability from cloud providers regarding their environmental footprints, while others discuss frameworks like Eco-AI and Green AI for ensuring responsible technological innovation. Finally, the texts detail practical, real-world solutions, such as snoozing idle Virtual Machines (VMs) to save both cost and carbon, and moving toward on-device AI to distribute computational load away from hyperscale facilities.
