Presenters Gaël Boris Gamazaychikov Sasha Luccioni Source Green IO Podcast 🚀 The Billion-Dollar Question: Why AI’s Energy Crisis is Actually a Money Story The race to build the next generation of AI is expensive—$1 billion expensive. That is the current entry price for a hyperscale data center, the kind of massive facility consuming between 100 megawatts and 1 gigawatt of power. In a recent episode of Green.io, host Grez sat down with two titans of the sustainability world: Boris Gamazaychikov (former Head of Sustainability at Salesforce) and Dr. Sasha Luccioni (a world-renowned researcher in responsible AI). They moved past the usual carbon-focused conversation to follow the money, revealing why the AI gold rush is creating an energy bottleneck that might just reshape the entire tech industry. ...

Presenters Gaël Gauthier Roussilhe Source Green IO podcast Is “IT for Green” Truly Green? Unpacking Tech’s Ecological Impact with Gauthier Roussilhe 💡🌍 How many times have you heard the bold claim: “Every time we emit one ton of CO2 in tech, we save 10 tons elsewhere?” This statement, often repeated across the tech industry, sounds fantastic. But is it true? And how do we really assess the net positive impact of digital technologies on our environment? ...

Presenters Iuna Tsyrulneva Gaël Source Green IO podcast Powering Down AI’s Energy Footprint: Charting a Greener Digital Future 🌍💡 Artificial Intelligence, especially the powerhouses of generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs), are undeniably transforming our world. But as their capabilities explode, so does their energy appetite. This isn’t just a theoretical concern; AI workloads in data centers are already contributing an estimated 180 million tons of indirect CO2 annually, a figure that represents about 0.5% of global fuel consumption CO2 emissions. The upward trend is clear, and the need for a more responsible digital future is urgent. ...
