Est-ce que l'IA est écolo?

S1 E9
·
2025

Theo wonders about the environmental impact of AI. Can it really help protect the planet? Behind its rapid responses lie heavy, energy-intensive infrastructures. Every calculation and every search has an invisible cost. At the same time, these technologies are beginning to be used to optimize complex systems and better manage certain natural resources. Between ecological promises and increased consumption, the picture remains ambiguous. Can AI become an ally in the energy transition... or will it further complicate the problem?
