Relatively new methods and algorithms for machine learning, embedded in artificial intelligence (AI) systems, contribute to the green transition in society. At the same time, AI creates challenges, including high energy consumption, the need for water to cool an increasing number of larger data centers, and the extraction of minerals from vulnerable natural areas. Further digitalisation of society, which to a large extent revolves around the development and use of AI systems, must be made greener.
