Training large neural networks improves NLP accuracy but requires significant computational resources, leading to high financial and environmental costs.
AI can support sustainable development but also poses risks, requiring regulation to ensure transparency, safety, and ethical standards.
Organizations are reducing electricity-related carbon emissions by adjusting energy use based on carbon intensity data and securing renewable energy through power purchase agreements.
AI's growing energy demand worsens air quality, imposing significant public health costs, especially on disadvantaged communities, necessitating better reporting and mitigation strategies.
