The massive impact of AI on people and the environment is just the tip of the iceberg. True AI sustainability requires a life-cycle approach focused on the common good.
AI-powered analysis of satellite images and local data helps us detect and counter changes in algae ecosystems early on.
Our modern world relies on carbon-emitting supercomputers. Enter: MeluXina, a supercomputer setting the standard for green computing power.
The AI MareExplore project uses AI to identify marine enzymes that break down plastic and bind CO2.
Will AI save the climate? Or are applications like ChatGPT just CO2 guzzlers? We take a look at three perspectives on language models.
Online clothing returns emit a staggering amount of carbon—and the items often end up in landfill. Can technology turn the tide?
AI that serves the common good? To do so, it must be designed differently to its big tech siblings. Theresa Züger is researching this at the HIIG institute.
Our digital lives rely on data centres. But their cooling systems are threatening global water supplies, leaving citizens thirsty.
New study reveals how Photonic Integrated Circuits could reduce data centre energy consumption by replacing electrons with light particles.
