Greener Intelligence: Reducing AI’s Carbon Footprint
Twinkll Sisodia

Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing industries, from healthcare to education — but few realize it’s also quietly heating the planet. Training massive AI models like GPT-4 or Gemini requires immense computational power, leading to carbon emissions on par with major industries.

In this talk, we’ll uncover the hidden environmental cost of AI development, with real-world examples of the carbon footprint behind today’s most popular models. More importantly, we’ll explore how the emerging “Green AI” movement is pushing for more sustainable practices, including efficient model design, renewable-powered data centers, and carbon-conscious AI innovation. Attendees will walk away with a deeper understanding of why building a smarter AI future must also mean building a greener one — and how they can be part of that change.
