Green AI is a term used in the fields of artificial intelligence, sustainability and environment 4.0 as well as digital transformation. It describes the approach of developing and using artificial intelligence (AI) in a way that minimises energy consumption and protects the environment.
Traditional AI applications, such as automated translations or image analysis, often require huge data centres. These consume a lot of electricity and cause considerable CO₂ emissions. Green AI, on the other hand, relies on economical algorithms and resource-saving hardware. The aim is to utilise the advantages of modern AI without unnecessarily burdening the environment.
An illustrative example: A company wants to have its product images sorted automatically. Instead of using a very expensive, power-hungry AI, it opts for a "green" solution that consumes only half as much energy but still works reliably. This combines digital innovation and environmental protection. Green AI is therefore particularly interesting for decision-makers who value sustainability and want to focus on digitalisation at the same time.
