How can you balance AI and sustainability?

How intertwined are AI and sustainability? This week, Technology now explores how we can do more than just use AI in a more sustainable and ethical way, we can harness it as a powerful tool to contribute to sustainability in other industries too. We ask which challenges are facing AI when it comes to sustainability and how can companies build strategies that support more efficient IT. Monica Batchelder, Chief Sustainability Officer at HPE, tells us more.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week, hosts Michael Bird and Aubrey Lovell look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations and what can be learnt from it.Monica Batchelder: https://www.linkedin.com/in/monicabatchelder/ Sources cited in this week’s episodeRaw materials for a computer: https://unctad.org/system/files/official-document/der2024_en.pdfAI water consumption: https://www.unep.org/news-and-stories/story/ai-has-environmental-problem-heres-what-world-can-do-about | https://arxiv.org/pdf/2304.03271Today I Learned:Swedish Study: Bignardi, G., Wesseldijk, L.W., Mas-Herrero, E. et al.
