AI Leadership Insights: AI Reducing Energy Consumption
Techstrong.ai, Friday, November 15th, 2024
In this Techstrong.ai video, AspenTech CTO Heiko Claussen explains how artificial intelligence (AI) is doing a lot more to reduce overall energy consumption than it's doing to increase it.
In this episode of the Techstrong AI video series, host Mike Vizard sits down with Heiko Claussen, CTO of AspenTech, to explore how AI can help optimize energy grids and industrial processes.
While foundational AI models, such as large language models, are often criticized for their energy consumption, Claussen highlights how AI in industrial contexts serves a different role.
By leveraging AI to optimize operations, reduce waste, and improve efficiencies, industries can achieve significant energy and emission reductions. Claussen explains that these AI models, tailored for specific applications, are far less resource-intensive to train and deploy compared to generalized models.
