How AI can be both sustainable and innovative

AI is reshaping climate solutions. But using it responsibly is what truly creates value. At Sweep, we're building agentic AI that accelerates sustainability reporting while keeping human oversight and transparency at the core. Discover how our AI innovations drive measurable impact: https://lnkd.in/ewdha_pr Karen Veldeman | Raphael Güller | Fabien G. | Adèle Guillet

MIT recently warned that generative AI could undermine climate goals through massive energy and water demand. But here’s the paradox: the same AI tools can also help us solve those problems — from optimising data centre cooling to monitoring air and water quality at scale. The question is: will AI become part of the climate problem, or part of the climate solution? #AI #Sustainability #ClimateTech #Innovation

"The age of AI has very quickly become the energy race." This powerful statement from Kevin Dean Pettit of Creative Glu, an expert in Enterprise AI Transformation, set the stage for a critical conversation at The Nest Climate Campus during Climate Week NYC. To meet the insatiable energy needs of the AI boom, utility companies must become the most efficient and effective in the world. This requires moving beyond the "huge human manual component" in core processes. Kevin shared a perfect example: analyzing a 1,200-page environmental report, a task that can take weeks. By embedding "agentic AI" into the workflow, this process can be reduced by 95-99%. The goal isn't to replace human expertise, but to empower it—freeing up our brightest minds to focus on the real work of generating and distributing safe, fair, and affordable energy. It was great to connect with leaders who are ready to embrace AI as a foundational tool to win the new energy race. #AI #EnergyTransition #Utilities #DigitalTransformation #Efficiency #ClimateWeekNYC #FutureOfWork #CreativeGlu

In the conversations I’m having with energy leaders, I’m hearing a growing awareness around the environmental tradeoffs of AI, particularly in power and water usage. There’s no denying AI is unlocking major gains in efficiency and innovation, but it also comes with real resource demands. This irony isn’t lost on companies that have spent years strengthening their sustainability commitments, but as our latest research shows, AI’s environmental impact isn’t fixed. It’s being shaped by how and where it’s deployed. By aligning AI workloads with cleaner grids and use-case needs, organizations can drive innovation without abandoning their sustainability goals. https://lnkd.in/e8bjxQYM #KPMGEnergy

In a thought-provoking iTNews Asia article, our EVP of Energy Management, Frederic Godemel, challenges us to go beyond basic AI implementation. He reveals that the true power of Artificial Intelligence in driving sustainability lies not in isolated projects, but in strategic integration. Frederic stresses that AI must be deeply embedded into our sustainability roadmap from the very beginning. This ensures AI solutions are perfectly aligned with both environmental goals and core business priorities, making AI a powerful enabler for a sustainable future.

As generative AI accelerates, environmental experts are raising crucial questions about its impact on energy consumption, emissions, and e-waste. Despite sustainability pledges from major tech companies, the sector faces growing scrutiny over its resource use and the expansion of data centres, often in regions already facing environmental challenges. Benedetta Brevini, author of "Is AI Good for the Planet?", urges greater transparency and public debate on the utility and sustainability of AI applications. ✍️ Joanna Gill reports 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eYJBP77d
