The Next Decade of Software Is About Climate - What Is the Role of ML? - Sara Bergman

AI systems has a huge carbon footprint and impact our global commitment to keep global warming to no more than 1.5°C – as called for in the Paris Agreement. To reach this goal, emissions need to be reduced by 45% by 2030 and reach net zero by 2050. The rising interest in getting a better handle on the carbon emissions due to the AI lifecycle has garnered interest from the research and practitioner communities across industry, government, academia, and civil society. The objective of this session is to break beyond surface-level discussions and dive deep into understanding the challenges and opportunities related to assessing and mitigating the carbon impacts of AI systems. This session will also walk through the Green Software foundation's Software Carbon Intensity specification and explain why how you measure impact matters.
