Sustainability Assessment

Sustainability assessment is a rapidly evolving field focused on evaluating the environmental and societal impacts of various technologies and practices. Current research emphasizes quantifying the energy consumption and carbon footprint of AI systems, particularly deep learning models, and developing methods for improving their efficiency and reducing their environmental impact, including through novel data generation techniques and improved adversarial training methods. This work is crucial for mitigating the growing environmental concerns associated with AI and promoting the development of more sustainable technologies across diverse sectors, from building design to global health initiatives.
