Energy-efficient artificial intelligence for a climate-friendly future
New findings on energy-saving potential in AI applications

Artificial intelligence (AI) is spreading rapidly and will play an important role in almost all areas of life. As utilisation increases, so does the consumption of electricity and resources, to a considerable extent. This study is the result of a pilot project in which various options for increasing the energy efficiency of image-processing AI applications were investigated. Significant savings in electricity consumption of between 31 and 65 per cent were achieved. The results have great application potential in data centres and for AI developers.
