United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres is calling on artificial intelligence companies to release information about the carbon, water and land used to power their systems.
EcoDataCenter will design, build and operate the underlying infrastructure in Sweden, leveraging renewable energy, advanced cooling technologies and deep expertise in high-density AI data centres
“Together with Mistral AI, we are building high-performance AI infrastructure on Swedish soil – with sustainability, resilience and European strategic autonomy at its core
Almost. They don’t actually show that the renewables they’re using would not have been built anyways and that they’re not displacing decarbonization as a result. Or that the wind and solar are supplied at the same time and place as the data center.
Doing this stuff well takes keeping track of a lot of moving parts.

What :D
This is exactly where you want to build data centres??
Disclosure is step 1. Actually not using fossil fuels is step 2.

Gotta love Lemmy
Lemmy: The data centres are stealing all our power and destroying the planet 😡
Mistral builds a data centre in a 100% carbon free place
Lemmy: 😡(confused)
