How should Big Data centers aided by AI technology be developed so that they fit in with sustainability goals, so that they do not generate large amounts of electricity consumption and/or are powered by renewable and carbon-free energy sources?
Generative artificial intelligence technology, which, with the help of deep learning applied to artificial neural networks, is taught specific skills, performing activities previously performed only by humans, is finding more and more new applications in various branches of the economy, in various types of business entities. Generative artificial intelligence technology helps in solving complex tasks that require processing large sets of data in a relatively short period of time, which is already far beyond human capabilities. Therefore, more and more new tools based on generative artificial intelligence technology are being created, which are engaged in solving specific tasks, in which a number of specific criteria are required to be met in order to create a precisely specified product, project, innovative solution, finding a solution to a complex problem, and so on. This type of complex problem solving includes the creation of new solutions for green technology and eco-innovation, which can be helpful in connection with the need to accelerate and increase the efficiency of carrying out the green transformation of the economy, including the green transformation of the energy sector based on, among other things, the development of renewable and emission-free energy sources. However, paradoxically, generative artificial intelligence technology performing certain outsourced tasks i.e. based on large data sets collected in data centers, using Big Data Analytics technological solutions consumes large amounts of electricity. In a situation where these large amounts of electricity are generated by burning fossil fuels through dirty combustion energy, the aforementioned new technological solutions increasingly categorized as Industry 5.0 are unfortunately not described as green, pro-climate, pro-environment, pro-environment, pro-environment, sustainable, pursuing sustainable development goals, etc. Accordingly, Big Data centers assisted by artificial intelligence technology should be developed to fit in with sustainability goals, not to generate high electricity consumption and/or to be powered by renewable and carbon-free energy sources. The aforementioned Big Data centers assisted by artificial intelligence technology should therefore be designed and built in such a way that power plants generating energy from renewable sources are also built next to them or above them if they are built underground, such as wind farms and/or photovoltaic panel installations or other power plants generating energy by other means but emission-free. In the future, these may also include a new generation of nuclear power plants generating energy from currently generated spent fuel waste from currently operating nuclear power plants operating on the basis of widespread traditional nuclear technologies. Besides, in the future, another solution for emission-free clean energy may be the use of a new generation of nuclear power based on cold fusion. In addition to the above, the technologies categorized as energy futures also include energy based on green hydrogen and new types of energy resources, which may be extracted from space. An effective combination of the above-mentioned technologies, i.e. green energy technologies and ICT and Industry 4.0/5.0 information technologies, may lead to the creation of AI-assisted Big Data green data centers.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
How should AI-assisted Big Data centers be developed so that they fit in with the Sustainable Development Goals, so that they do not generate a lot of electricity consumption and/or are powered by renewable and carbon-free energy sources?
How should AI-assisted Big Data centers be developed so that they fit in with sustainability goals?
