Best of LinkedIn: Sustainability & Green ICT CW 34/ 35

We curate most relevant posts about Sustainability & Green ICT on LinkedIn and regularly share key takeaways. This edition extensively discuss the environmental impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digital technologies, focusing on sustainable practices and solutions. Several authors highlight the energy and water consumption of AI models, data centres, and software applications, while others offer practical strategies for reducing this footprint, such as green coding, efficient model selection, cloud optimisation, and serverless computing. There is a strong emphasis on the need for greater transparency from tech companies regarding their environmental data and the development of standardised metrics for measuring AI's impact. The sources also explore the potential of AI itself to accelerate decarbonisation and promote sustainability, alongside the business benefits of adopting green IT practices, including cost savings and improved performance. Finally, many contributions call for increased collaboration, education, and policy development to ensure a sustainable future for AI and the tech industry.
