What you'll learn

Problem: AI's impacts are huge, and growing

Generative AI impacts the planet at least 3 times more than previous IT services

Challenge: Question the "big AI" habit

Do we always have to use the most popular AI services? They're often the most impactful

Solution: Frugal AI is a game-changer

AI's impacts can be reduced by hundredfolds, by leveraging Frugal AI - if you do need AI at all :)

Why this topic matters

71% of Americans don't want to live near an AI data center, as they increasingly oppose AI's growing and multiple environmental impacts.

This Lightning Lesson explains those impacts, and what you can do to reduce them.

Switching to Frugal AI can lead to hundredfold impact reductions, as well as huge gains in terms of cost and data freedom.
