There are a few different threads I'm in that discus AI and data center resource utilization.
I took the better part of a day to write this up with cited sources. Always happy for corrections or to have my opinion changed in light of new information!

AI model developers should recognize that while training their models consumes vast amounts of resources, they can give back by sharing value with the communities that surround the infrastructure producing these resources.
Agree?
#sustainableai #S12Y #aiinfrastructure #sharingiscaring
AI model developers should work toward using generalized computing architectures rather than specialized ones.
What do you think?
#sustainableai #S12Y #aiinfrastructure #sustainablecomputing
AI model developers should schedule training their data when there is an abundance of renewable energy in the region of their infrastructure.
Agree?
#sustainableai #S12Y #aiinfrastructure #sustainablecomputing
AI model developers should use shared infrastructure for training to promote fair competition and innovation.
Do you agree?
#sustainableai #S12Y #aiinfrastructure #sustainablecomputing #sharingiscaring
Data set providers should label each of the data sets they offer with the total environmental impact as well as local value creation.
Do you agree?
#sustainableai #S12Y #aiinfrastructure #sustainablecomputing
Data set providers should use shared infrastructure for the generation of synthetic or the crawling and collecting of other data.
#sustainableai #S12Y #aiinfrastructure #sharingiscaring
Government should facilitate the environmental impact measurement of AI models.
What do you think?
#sustainableai #S12Y #aiinfrastructure #sustainablecomputing
Governments should facilitate digital resource sharing across AI market participants.
Do you agree?
#sustainableai #S12Y #aiinfrastructure #sharingiscaring
Government tenders should require transparency on environmental impact and local value creation.
What do you think?
#sustainableai #S12Y #aiinfrastructure #sustainablecomputing #betransparent
Governments should invest in the development of certifications for AI models and AI services based on their environmental costs and value contribution the the local economy.
Do you agree?
#sustainableai #S12Y #aiinfrastructure #certification
Governments should develop reporting standards on the environmental impact of AI models.
Do you agree?
#sustainableai #S12Y #aiinfrastructure #sustainablecomputing #responsibleai
Governments should invest in best practice development and research on how to reduce environmental impacts of AI models and strengthen its societal benefits.

Any sustainability/carbon footprint gains we believed to be making w/ EVs etc, are going to be wiped clean like dry markers on white boards by AI, and we haven’t even reached peak adoption yet. Insightful read from Hidde. #s12y
