Eilam believes the industry is caught in a conundrum. AI has the potential to make industries more sustainable, even though right now the technology itself is a resource drain, she said. Computing and AI can play a critical role in decarbonizing the electrical grid, which currently relies on renewable energy sources that fluctuate in availability. 'By having the power grid work in tandem with computing, we can actually shift workloads or reduce workloads, making it more efficient.'
'There needs to be a focus on sustainability in general,' Eilam told TechCrunch. She continues to emphasize the importance of addressing the energy consumption associated with AI, stating that as AI continues to evolve and generate massive power demands, we have to seize the opportunity to enhance sustainability in tandem with technological advancements. 'We have an issue and we also have an opportunity.'
