AI-related electricity demand is growing roughly 15% per year, and sustainability teams need to account for it in their carbon footprints—but no standard methodology has existed. On July 23 at 11 AM ET, join Dr. John Bistline, our Head of Science, as he introduces Watershed's new open methodology for measuring corporate AI emissions.
In conversation with Google's Cooper Elsworth, Dr. Bistline will unpack the challenges facing companies as they seek to account for their AI-related emissions, and how to get started with measurement.
Attendees will learn:
- How to estimate AI emissions using a tiered approach that works with whatever data you have today
- Why published AI emissions estimates can differ by orders of magnitude—and what drives the gap
- Practical levers for reducing AI emissions, from model selection to region choice
- What AI providers need to disclose for more accurate corporate reporting
