AI compute and climate change: what policymakers need to know and what is happening at the OECD 

In this video, Keith Strier of INVIDIA explains what policymakers need to know about AI compute, how it works and why it is vital to national AI strategies.
Celine Caira of the OECD explains what countries are doing at this organisation and how they are preparing to mitigate the effects of AI computing on climate change.
Assessing AI compute capacity and its environmental impact, particularly supercomputing technologies, is crucial to policymaking. High demand for AI has created reliance on high-performance computational infrastructures making it urgent to gauge their environmental impact. Policymakers are uniquely positioned to leverage this knowledge to guide legislative agendas and international collaborations.
The OECD.AI Expert Group on AI Compute and Climate contributes to the OECD’s initiative to create a basic framework for understanding, measuring and benchmarking domestic AI computing capacity by country and region. While mindful of the ever-evolving state of the computing landscape, the expert group is working with key AI computing players in a data-gathering exercise to understand “ai compute” energy consumption.
