A recent article from Forbes "Green Intelligence: Why Data and AI Must Become More Sustainable," delves into the critical need for sustainability in the realms of data and artificial intelligence. As the world increasingly relies on data-driven technologies to drive innovation and solve complex problems, there is a growing concern about the environmental impact of these technologies.
Key points from the article suggest that Data Centres and AI computations require significant energy contributing to carbon emissions therefore affecting the environment, the production and disposal of hardware components for data storage and AI systems further strain natural resources, and companies developing and deploying AI and data solutions have a responsibility to prioritise sustainability in their operations.
So how can the tech industry strike a balance between innovation and environmental responsibility and what role should policymakers play in promoting sustainability within the industry?
