Carbon Footprint of AI

The total greenhouse gas emissions produced by training, deploying and running AI models, including the energy consumed by data centres and hardware manufacturing.

The total greenhouse gas emissions from running AI systems. Training one large language model can emit as much carbon as several cars over their lifetimes. This measures that environmental cost.

As ESG reporting requirements grow, organisations need to account for the carbon footprint of their AI operations. Your governance framework should include environmental impact tracking as part of responsible AI practice.
