16 May, 2 pm, Cosmos Hall

The remarkable capabilities of artificial intelligence are enabled by the availability of massive computational resources, typically delivered by supercomputers or High Performance Computing (HPC) systems. However, these systems require equally substantial amounts of energy to operate. This presentation examines the computational demands of some of the most prominent AI algorithms, outlines the types of computing infrastructures needed to support them, and evaluates their energy consumption and environmental impact. The aim is to promote awareness and understanding of the real costs associated with the intensive use of artificial intelligence technologies. Explore the facts with the director of the Technological Innovation Research Institute at Area Science Park in Italy, Stefano Cozzini.

In partnership with Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Sofia
