AI and the environment - Optimising Energy and Resources

Saving energy
AI can help manage power grids by predicting when and where energy is needed most. For example, starting in 2016, Google used its DeepMind AI to reduce the energy used for cooling its data centres by 40%.

Reducing waste
‍AI can be used to improve recycling and waste management. AI-powered sorting robots can identify different types of materials in a pile of rubbish, making recycling more efficient.
