WekaIO (WEKA), the data platform provider for performance-intensive workloads, unveiled a new Sustainable AI Initiative today. The initiative aims to raise awareness of the rapid growth in global data center energy consumption and carbon emissions being driven by next-generation computing technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and high-performance computing (HPC). Though these technologies power critical research, discoveries, and innovation, their use is inadvertently contributing to the acceleration of the world’s climate and energy crises. Through its Sustainable AI Initiative, WEKA is committing to making climate-positive investments, igniting industry and societal conversations, and engaging and collaborating with leaders in the political, scientific, business, and technology communities worldwide to problem-solve and promote more efficient and sustainable use of AI.
