Best of LinkedIn: Sustainability & Green ICT CW 32/ 33

We curate most relevant posts about Sustainability & Green ICT on LinkedIn and regularly share key takeaways. This edition discusses the environmental impact of artificial intelligence and data centres, highlighting both the challenges and innovative solutions. Several authors address the significant energy and water consumption of AI models and data centre operations, with some stressing the need for transparency and accountability from tech giants. Conversely, many sources showcase ongoing efforts in sustainable data centre design, including the adoption of renewable energy sources, advanced cooling technologies like liquid cooling, and efficient building materials such as mass timber. The texts also explore Green AI practices and sustainable software engineering, emphasising the importance of optimising workloads, refining coding practices, and leveraging clean energy like hydrogen to mitigate the environmental footprint of digital infrastructure.
