Green AI is a term from the fields of Artificial Intelligence, Sustainability and Environment 4.0, as well as Digital Transformation. It describes the approach of developing and deploying artificial intelligence (AI) in a way that consumes as little energy as possible and protects the environment.
Classical AI applications, such as automated translations or image analysis, often require massive data centres. These consume a lot of electricity and cause significant CO₂ emissions. Green AI, on the other hand, relies on economical algorithms and resource-efficient hardware. The goal is to leverage the benefits of modern AI without unnecessarily burdening the environment.
A clear example: A company wants to have its product images sorted automatically. Instead of using a very complex, power-hungry AI, it opts for a „green“ solution that uses only half the 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 embrace digitalisation at the same time.
