AI and sobriety: when artificial intelligence accelerates decarbonization

Smart Grids, Buildings, Industry, Telecoms: the concrete contributions of AI to the energy transition

AI at the service of a measurable low-carbon transition

Artificial intelligence (AI) can be a powerful lever for decarbonization—provided that its actual energy impact is controlled. This white paper explores the concrete applications of AI in energy systems, buildings, industry, and digital networks, and shows how it contributes to a effective sobriety : optimization of smart grids, low-carbon management, predictive maintenance, and digital energy twins.
