AI has been able to improvise at a fast pace. Climate change is the biggest topic currently. More companies are trying to implement methods that can contribute to improving the climate.
Technology is also trying to play its part by joining the process. Recently, Tilda who is AI created designer by the LG AI Research has tried to create digital fashion products by using digital waste.
There is increasing pressure from various parts of the world to reduce digital waste. The initiatives like the one presented above need to be taken seriously. All of these will ultimately help in improving the condition of the climate.
Even United Nations Environment Programme is also appreciating the efforts like that of Tilda. The digital world is indirectly contributing to climatic problems. We can help in such conditions by simply deleting unimportant emails from our email accounts. Matter of fact, 4 grams of carbon is emitted for each outgoing mail. So to stop such issues, we need to delete just emails from our email accounts.
But, the example of Tilda also shows that AI and other advanced technologies are making themselves self-sufficient. They are now becoming less dependent on the large amount of data we collect for their research. They are becoming smarter at a very fast pace. So, indirectly they are reducing the need to collect large amounts of data in data centers. In the end, data centers also do not need to deploy much equipment to keep their servers cool. But on the other hand, companies are always in need of the latest data in any field. So this demand for data is not going to slow down very quickly.
To support our cause of this carbon emission reduction, we will also need more efficient algorithms for AI. By looking at the argument given above. More efficient systems will help in reducing the climatic issues.
Keeping everything in mind, technologies like AI will need to be more climate-friendly in the future. Future innovations must also care about the changes in the climate due to different factors. Indirectly, we are putting pressure on the environment through our different activities. We need to be very careful while planning anything else in the future in any field.
