"The AI Energy Problem and what can be done about it"
Presenter: Dr. Tamar Eilam, IBM Fellow, Chief Scientist Sustainable Computing
Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) offers immense potential to accelerate scientific discoveries crucial for combating climate change. However, this powerful tool comes with a significant environmental cost due to its substantial energy consumption and carbon emissions. This talk explores the research challenge of harnessing AI's capabilities while minimizing its ecological footprint.
