Few technological advancements have had the immediate and powerful impact of artificial intelligence (AI). Although AI’s foundations are well established, its recent thrust into the public consciousness—and adoption throughout industries—is astonishing by any measure.
In 2024, AI’s moment is only growing stronger. Yet, an ongoing concern around AI’s adoption is its potential incompatibility with must-have sustainability strategies. Consider today’s data center where AI requires huge amounts of computing power to generate queries. Inevitably, these requirements will level out, but the concern is real.
While businesses in all sectors are grappling with the consequences of AI, C-level executives are also prioritizing sustainability as public demand and government regulations push for more energy-efficient actions in corporate Environment, Sustainability, and Governance (ESG) programs.
In this infographic from Enterprise Strategy Group, a TechTarget company, the research group reports that, “97% of organizations with established ESG programs agree that ESG affects their strategic planning, and most of those respondents agree it does that at a significant level.”
If you’re responsible for AI initiatives, ESG initiatives, or perhaps both, you may be asking if they are compatible.
The new report from Enterprise Strategy Group outlines the tough issues around AI and sustainability and highlights many of Juniper’s contributions to help solve these complex challenges. To help you understand the issues, check out the report, Using AI To Enable and Enhance Enterprise Sustainability Initiatives, by Mike Leone, Principal Analyst.
In the report you’ll find:
- A summary of enterprise AI concerns
- An overview of Juniper’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions
- Examples of how Juniper is using sustainable technology and minimizing e-waste.
Commitment and support for AI and sustainability
Juniper’s approach to sustainability and AI is two-fold. First, we are committed to internal efforts to build AI-Native, sustainable products that are more energy-efficient, along with management tools that improve the performance and efficiency of data networks. Second, we support our customers’ sustainability goals by helping them build their own AI systems that use our AI-Native Networking Platform to increase networking efficiency, maximize use of real estate, and provide the insights needed to make sustainable decisions throughout the organization.
As organizations face more and diverse demands on issues such as smart sourcing, energy use and management, product packaging, and eco-friendly disposal policies, they must consider AI’s role. At Juniper, we believe AI and sustainability are absolutely compatible and invite you to learn more and apply sustainability principles to your AI strategies.
