To meet the growing demand for power of AI, we have to enable the entire ecosystem, from chip to grid. This lightning talk brings together how NVIDIA is working with its partners from power generation and transmission to distribution to build flexible and reliable infrastructure. The session focuses on AI for meeting energy demand, using digital technologies inside data centers to manage peak loads, and applying accelerated computing to simulate the grid and build physical infrastructure.

Matthew Riemland examines how translation professionals can confront the environmental costs of AI, including carbon emissions, water consumption, and rare mineral extraction, through 'eco-translation practice.' He argues these harms stem from structural power imbalances rather than individual choices, and proposes vocational and structural strategies of resistance, from supporting data center activism to demanding transparency from AI developers.
