Understanding AI's carbon impact.

We're getting a better idea of AI's true carbon footprint

Subscribe for $8/month Weekend Reads Technology in Perspective 03.23.24 | AI's carbon footprint With a better understanding of just how much energy AI systems consume, companies and developers can make choices about the trade-offs they are willing to make between pollution and costs. The first attempt to calculate the broader emissions of one of the most popular AI products right now—large language models—and how it could help nudge the tech sector to do more to clean up its act. Subscribe today for full access access to the March/April issue, where we focus on the utilization of technology to uncover and investigate hidden worlds. We're getting a better idea of AI's true carbon footprint AI startup Hugging Face has undertaken the tech sector's first attempt to estimate the broader carbon footprint of a large language model.
