In this episode of the NSF Discover Superconducting Podcast, we explore the intersection of computing and sustainability with insights from Massoud Pedram of USC. As computing power grows, so does its energy consumption and environmental impact—from AI models to data centers. Pedram emphasizes the importance of sustainable practices across the entire lifecycle of computing devices, from manufacturing to disposal.
We also dive into innovative solutions, including energy-efficient algorithms, sustainable hardware, and AI-driven energy management, that could reduce the carbon footprint of our digital world. Tune in to learn how access to information and education plays a crucial role in creating a more sustainable future for technology.
