This episode will be available to stream at 9:00am ET
The rapid advancement in GPUs demonstrated by NVIDIA and other AI chip providers has meant significant strides forward in LLM development and other AI-based initiatives. However, this has not come without sustainability costs, and data centers must consider this if they are to accurately assess the environmental TCO of their facilities. This episode will explore:
- The embodied carbon of microchips
- The ‘S’ in the ESG of chips - considerations for corporate social responsibility
- Whether it possible to accurate assess the carbon intensity of AI workloads
- Whether the sustainability challenges of rapid AI acceleration outweigh the benefits of better workload management & efficiency opportunities
