The paradox of an energy-intensive technology serving the technological challenges of tomorrow

Artificial intelligence is a technology that raises many questions about its usefulness for the ecological cause. A binary vision, black or white, good or bad, is not possible when we want to evoke all the complexity of artificial intelligence.
It is obvious that artificial intelligence is energy-intensive and that it is part of a field, digital, which is increasingly polluting. But we also see the emergence of many AI applications in the service of environmental protection. The benefit/risk balance is therefore the indicator to monitor to take the path of a more responsible and truly effective AI to help us fight against global warming.
Throughout the pages of this book, we have decided to clearly explain what artificial intelligence is today, and especially how it should evolve. For this, we have established alarming findings on the disastrous ecological impact of digital technology. This awareness is essential to find the solutions that will allow us tomorrow to benefit from the current comfort while preserving the resources of the planet. We have also identified many artificial intelligence applications that have the potential to be positive for the environment and respect for life.
Innovations that will undoubtedly help us to create a new economy, a new, more sustainable smart society, thus reconciling energy transition and digital transition.
