We tend to think of\u00a0data as having no physical form, with no tangible impact on the environment \u2013 but that couldn\u2019t be farther from the truth. The worldwide consumption of electricity by data centers was estimated to be between 220 and 320 terawatt hours in 2021, more than the electrical consumption of entire countries such as Sweden \u2013\u00a0a clear problem.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, a single AI algorithm can generate upward of 300 metric tons of CO2e, the equivalent of 470 people taking flights from NY to SF. However, this brings opportunity to design these algorithms in ways that result in a greener future \u2013 while still achieving the same accuracy \u2013 through distillation, the transfer of knowledge from larger models into smaller ones, etc.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
