Decoding GenAI’s carbon footprint

Environmental

As the use of generative AI (GenAI) accelerates, so does its environmental impact. In this session, IJO and On Behalf AI will dive into the core principles of carbon balance calculation for AI models, offering a clear view of what we can measure with confidence and the uncertainties that challenge precision. Attendees will learn how different factors—such as data centers, hardware, and model training—contribute to carbon output. This talk will break down known metrics and orders of magnitude, helping developers, engineers, and researchers monitor their AI’s carbon footprint and manage their impact more consciously in their day-to-day work.
