Energy-Efficient Computing Systems For Sustainable AI
By Pushkar Apte - 22 May, 2025 - Comments: 0

As artificial intelligence (AI) proliferates rapidly, AI models and datasets are also growing rapidly in size. This growth far outpaces performance improvement in hardware systems, and is increasing AI’s energy consumption unsustainably. To address these challenges and explore collaborative solutions, SEMI’s Smart Data-AI Initiative – as part of its Future of Computing focus – r... » read more
