Really excited about this new line of work with Pengfei Li, Jianyi Yang, and Shaolei Ren
You’ve heard of AI’s algorithmic inequity. But what about its environmental inequity? Shaolei Ren explains how AI’s environmental costs are not evenly distributed and can be disproportionately higher in certain regions than in others. themarkup.org/hello-world/20…
How to distribute AI’s environmental cost equitably across different regions and make AI truly responsible? David Danelski Adam Wierman UC Riverside AI creates new environmental injustices, but there’s a fix | News news.ucr.edu/articles/2023/…
Congrats Sungho Shin
Glad to see our work is starting to influence tech policies, incl curation by many think tanks & the more recent inclusion by experts in their written evidence to the UK Parliament House of Lords as a potential way to mitigate AI’s environmental toll & inequity! Adam Wierman
California recognizes the need of environmentally equitable AI in the State of CA Report! Adam Wierman "... stakeholders also highlighted the need for reducing environmental impacts of GenAI use and ensuring environmental costs are equitably distributed." govops.ca.gov/wp-content/upl…
One teaser Umut U. Simsekli gave, see also the Neurips talk of Adam Wierman in link below, is the following: suppose A,B are normally distributed and you want to maximize E[Ax^2+Bx] with stochastic gradient descent, unit batch size 1/4
🧵 Thrilled to announce the #ICML RL workshop 'Aligning RL Experimentalists and Theorists'! We will have several talks and a panel delivered by a super lineup of speakers: Martha White, Sham Kakade, Amy Zhang, Dylan Foster, Niao He, Sergey Levine, and Mengdi Wang. 1/3
Glad to have written on Harvard Business Review Too often we focus on easily measurable metrics like the total water & carbon. But, AI's environmental impacts disproportionately affect communities. We need equity for environmentally responsible AI. Adam Wierman hbr.org/2024/07/the-un…
