Addressing The Environmental Footprint While Optimizing The Handprint Of AI
Dell News, Tuesday, January 30th, 2024
Innovations, like AI, can and should advance our technological capacity while supporting more energy-efficient and sustainable futures.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and generative AI (GenAI) offer a transformational promise to propel essentially all industries and the global economy forward. Data is essential to the learning and decision-making power of AI and, as such, demand on data processing is expected to grow significantly. AI can quickly and efficiently draw insights from enormous data sets, which can require immense compute power, making data center and PC performance critical.
Challenges come with any breakthrough technology, and the environmental footprint of AI is already a topic the industry is working to address. Training and running large AI models and workloads rely on energy and resources, which presents a difficult decision for businesses who seek to embrace this revolutionary technology and meet their environmental sustainability commitments. From our vantage point, neither of these commitments are slowing down.
