[Circle U.] The Energy Cost of AI Development: How High Is the Price? @ Online

The rapid development of artificial intelligence is leading to a sharp rise in digital infrastructure, particularly data centres, which are well known for their high energy consumption. How can we reconcile technological innovation with energy efficiency? This is the central question of the Circle U.-labelled conference and debate, held as part of the ICENSS (International Conference on Energy Saving and Storage). Join us on 26 May online – free registration open until 22 May!

Topics to Be Covered

  • AI and Computational Demands: Professor Antonio Cisternino (University of Pisa) will explore the explosion in computing power requirements, opportunities for software optimisation, and emerging prospects for sustainable AI. He will emphasise the importance of designing both algorithms and infrastructure with sustainability in mind.

  • Energy Management in Data Centres: This session presented by Wenquan Tao wil showcase recent innovations in cooling systems powered by renewable energy, including hydrogen-based solutions, aimed at reducing the carbon footprint of data centres.

  • Round Table Discussion: Moderated by the Circle U. Climate Chair at Université Paris Cité with professor Wenquan Tao , this session will bring together speakers to discuss practical ways to reconcile AI development with energy efficiency. The audience will also be invited to take part in the discussion.
