us and we need to stop and think more about the ways we can lagrange new technology in order to stop the phenomenon and have a more sustainable living.
We have seen it everywhere, and our planet needs help and climate change is affecting our lives without us even noticing. The days are getting hotter and snow is less and less a common and normal phenomenon. Nowadays, extreme weather conditions can be seen more and more easily, glaciers are melting, animals are becoming extinct and we still manage to be ignorant when the planet requires a more sustainable behavior from us. Even more so, new technology seems to help us in this sector too, and come up with sustainable solutions in order to stop climate change.
How Does AI Support Sustainability?
First, we need to mention what is sustainability. Sustainability, or sustainable practices gathers all practices that have the purpose of transforming the world into a healthier and livable environment. Sustainability is defined by the UCLA Sustainability Committee as“the integration of environmental health, social equity, and economic vitality in order to create thriving, healthy, diverse and resilient communities for this generation and generations to come. The practice of sustainability recognizes how these issues are interconnected and requires a systems approach and an acknowledgment of complexity.”.
Supporting all ecological, economic, vital, human, and health conditions, acknowledging that the resources our planet has are not infinite. And, with the advancement of new technology, we need to take into account the sustainable practices we can leverage due to artificial intelligence (AI).
Carbon Footprint
Managing the carbon footprint with the help of green algorithms is how artificial intelligence (AI) can help us become more sustainable. With the integration of green algorithms, we have the ability to become more efficient and, at the same time lower the carbon footprint. How? By automating the processes and using artificial intelligence (AI) to optimize the use of resources and cut out waste, following more sustainable regulations. Even more so, we can use artificial intelligence, and reduce the carbon footprint, when organizing or centralizing data and storing it with the help of AI.
Pilot testing
When starting a new project that involves manufacturers requires more than just human intervention and hours spent. A lot of materials can be used and without proper pilot testing, we would risk using raw materials and energy without knowing if the product will be successful and used. However, with the help of AI algorithms, we can anticipate and see whether or not the product that we might be delivering will be a successful one. This can lower the risk of waiting for materials, energy, and power, encouraging the creation of a more sustainable future.
AI in Smart Homes
Implementing AI smart home solutions such as voice assistants, smart switches, smart thermostats and other IoT devices that leverage and use artificial intelligence for the greater good is what every one of us should start to implement. Think about it, smart thermostats can help us become more aware of energy usage and help us figure out what changes we can make. The new technology that is used gives them the ability to turn on and off the heating when needed. And, also they can store energy data usage. With the help of AI, it can also compare the energy that was used in previous months, and it gives us an inside on what the bill would look like.
