"Generative AI can help reduce carbon emissions by creating efficiencies, but the compute resources and energy GenAI uses also creates emissions."

$Here are some of our initial findings. GenAI’s biggest contribution to increasing emissions will come from its routine use. While the energy to train models has been a primary focus, for corporate users, model inferencing, the process of user prompting and model responses, will have a greater impact. (This finding aligns with recent third-party research on the topic.) This increase could be limited. In our analysis for PwC, these annual emissions are projected to be a fraction of business travel. GenAI could help drive decarbonization. GenAI-driven transformation has the potential to make operations more carbon efficient.$

@saraislet it’s ok, because they’re projected to only be a fraction of the emissions from business travel. (Which according to their own website makes up 68% of all Carbon emissions by PwC)
