AI Research

Interdisciplinary study on AI's environmental impact and policy.

A conference room with a long wooden table surrounded by chairs covered in protective plastic. Multiple computer monitors are placed on tables against the walls, each displaying nature-themed images. The walls are lined with wood paneling, and a sign indicating a center for artificial intelligence is displayed at the front. There are decorative flower arrangements on the table, and the overall setup suggests a professional environment.

Carbon Footprint

Modeling AI's historical carbon emissions and resource usage.

A display screen shows information about ChatGPT, a language model for dialogue optimization. The text includes details on how the model is used in conversational contexts. The background is primarily green, with pink and purple graphic lines on the right side. The OpenAI logo is positioned at the top left.

Data Analysis

Evaluating AI technology's historical contributions to climate change.

A smartphone lying on a surface with its screen displaying an air quality monitoring app. The app shows various air quality measurements in detail, including PM10, PM2.5, PM1 levels, and temperature. It also indicates that the current air quality index (CAQI) is 73 with a status of 'average'.
