As AI’s energy consumption rises, so do sustainability concerns. This report explores why this technology is so power-intensive, how to mitigate its impact and whether it can help reduce emissions. It also examines four possible scenarios for future energy consumption – from unchecked growth to greater efficiency – and their sustainability implications.
To achieve their net-zero targets, telcos must be proactive in finding mechanisms to embed sustainability in their decision-making. Singtel shows how this can be done through three initiatives focused on scenario planning, carbon accounting and disclosures.
