Using AI to Mitigate the Growing Environmental Threat of Data Centers
MIT’s Christina Delimitrou argues the fastest way to curb the environmental threat of data centers is to stop wasting the servers we already have. We explain the scale of data center energy demand, the 15 percent utilization problem, her machine learning systems from Paragon and Quasar to Seer, Sinan and Ditto, other AI levers from cooling to grid timing, where efficiency runs out, and the steps IT teams can take now.
