A Call for ‘Green AI’ in California: Evaluation of Existing and Alternative Regulations
Suriya Krishna Balakrishnan Nair Suja Kumari , Saahir Vazirani
Summary
The rapid growth of artificial intelligence, especially large-scale foundation models, poses critical environmental challenges. Training compute-heavy AI models consumes massive energy and water, leading to significant carbon emissions. California, a leader in climate and AI policy, doesn't have any legislation explicitly addressing the strain AI development is causing to the resources. To bridge these gaps, we propose bipartisan legislative solutions that ensure AI development in California is environmentally sustainable without stifling innovation.
