Session: Greener Bytes: Exploring the Environmental Impact and Solutions for LLMs
In an era where technology and sustainability must coexist, large language models (LLMs) have emerged as transformative tools across various industries, from healthcare to finance, education to entertainment. This presentation delves into the multifaceted landscape of LLMs, beginning with an introduction to their capabilities and diverse applications. As we explore the innovative use cases that highlight the profound impact of LLMs, we also confront the pressing challenges they pose, particularly regarding energy consumption and carbon emissions. With the increasing deployment of LLMs, understanding their environmental footprint becomes necessary. Through this presentation, I aim to foster a deeper awareness of this issue and outline a roadmap for minimizing the environmental impact of LLMs while maximizing their potential.Key Takeaways
- The session will highlight the often-overlooked carbon footprint associated with everyday interactions with LLMs, emphasizing that even simple queries can have environmental implications.
- The session will emphasize the importance of collective responsibility among researchers, developers, and users to ensure that the advancement of AI technologies aligns with sustainability goals.
