Dr.-ING. Susan Wegner | Quantifying sustainability of an AI project | Rise of AI Conference 2023
Dr. Susan Wegner's talk at the Rise of AI Conference 2023 delves into quantifying sustainability in AI projects, exploring the four Ms of Google and the importance of carbon footprint calculations to optimize energy usage and reduce emissions.
- Quantifying sustainability of an AI project involves considering the entire lifecycle, from development to deployment.
- The four Ms of Google - Measure, Myth, Mettle, and Möbius loop - provide a framework for evaluating sustainability.
- Sustainable AI development requires considering the carbon footprint of each phase, including model development, deployment, and inference.
- Footprint calculations are crucial for optimizing energy usage and reducing carbon emissions.
- Digital solutions have a larger carbon footprint than aviation, with the majority coming from electricity consumption.
- AI solutions can reduce energy consumption by 3-10% through efficient training and usage.
- Companies should report their ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) to promote sustainability.
- Awards and certifications for sustainable practices can incentivize companies to reduce their carbon footprint.
- Monitoring energy consumption and footprint are essential for long-term sustainability.
- Companies should prioritize reducing their carbon footprint by optimizing energy usage, using renewable energy sources, and reducing waste.
- AI solutions can help companies achieve their sustainability goals, but it’s crucial to consider the entire lifecycle and carbon footprint.
- Industry-wide guidelines and tools, such as Code Carbon, can help companies measure and reduce their carbon footprint.
- Education and awareness are essential for promoting sustainable AI development.
- Companies should consider the benefits of sustainable AI development, including cost savings, improved reputation, and compliance with regulations.
- Measuring carbon footprint and energy consumption can help companies identify areas for improvement and optimization.
- Companies should prioritize sustainability and report their ESG for long-term success.
