Artificial Intelligence is a technology that simulates human intelligence processes by machines and computer systems. There’s a plethora of different Artificial Intelligence applications including natural language processing, deep learning and speech recognition just to name a few.
In 2023 all companies will be under pressure to reduce their carbon footprint and minimize their impact on the environment. In this respect, the race to adopt and profit from AI can be both a blessing and a hindrance. AI algorithms – as well as all the infrastructure needed to support and deliver them, such as cloud networks and edge devices – require increasing amounts of power and resources. At the same time, the technology has the potential to help companies understand how to build products, services, and infrastructure in a more energy-efficient way by identifying sources of waste and inefficiency. Ongoing efforts to implement more green and renewable energy-powered infrastructure are also a part of the drive toward delivering more sustainable AI. – Bernard Marr, Futurist, Influencer & Thought Leader
