Artificial intelligence is emerging as a powerful tool, but training and deploying large #AI models requires vast computational resources and significant amounts of electricity, raising concerns about air pollution, water consumption, and the long-term energy footprint of AI itself.
How can we harness AI’s benefits while avoiding the escalating costs of running increasingly large systems?
Join us for our next Friday Night AI, a Q&A panel with U-M experts in AI and energy as we explore how to balance innovation with environmental responsibility.
Interactive activities by Yara El-Tawil and Snehal Prabhudesai.
Bring your family and friends and let's dive in!
