What are ways to reduce the environmental impact of using AI? If you’re committed to AI and you’re committed to reducing your carbon emissions, then you’re going to face something of a conundrum. All the main cloud providers have reported significant increases in their category three emissions due to data center expansion and the inherent inefficiency of current AI processors and models. Just recently DeepSeek claimed that its model was trained for far less cost and with fewer resources, but it’s very difficult to verify the claims and, in any case, the model was trained on the output from current LLMs such as Chat-GPT 4, so the power had already been consumed elsewhere.

As businesses increasingly adopt AI, the need for thoughtful, strategic implementation becomes critical.

These are fantastic benefits, but it also means that we are now individually responsible for our environmental impact - we are now in charge of reducing our carbon footprint in and outside of working hours; we’re now Chief Procurement Office and Energy Efficiency Monitor.

Our carbon footprint as a business has been dispersed to individual homes. And with the cost of energy being one of the biggest contributors to rapidly rising inflation in the UK, and our impact on the planet in stark focus, now's a good time to review our personal behaviour, consider energy choices and find ways to save money and benefit the planet.

Collaboration and communication across the organization is essential for project management teams. So it's important that project management teams have the right tools to be able to work effectively. Microsoft Teams provides a channel of communication that contributes to project management success.
