Does HR Have a Responsibility to Address AI’s Environmental Footprint?

AI is revolutionizing industries, but it's also guzzling energy and pumping out emissions. As AI models grow more complex, their carbon footprint swells, and that's raising eyebrows in the boardrooms. HR leaders have a golden opportunity to guide companies toward more sustainable AI practices.

By the Numbers:

- AI training can emit up to 284,000 kg of CO2, comparable to the emissions of five cars over their lifetime.

- Data centers account for 1% of global electricity consumption.

- AI usage is expected to grow 44% by 2028.

Why It Matters: As AI adoption surges, so too does its environmental impact. HR can drive the shift toward greener AI, aligning with corporate sustainability goals.

What's Next: Companies should prioritize transparency in AI operations, tracking emissions and setting reduction targets. HR can spearhead educational campaigns on sustainable AI practices, fostering a culture of environmental responsibility. Read More
