Green IT, sustainable programming and intelligent energy saving - what exactly is that?
Saving electricity with the help of AI, is that possible? The sustainability detectives asked Falko Finzel, an expert in green coding at Deutsche Telekom, what sustainable programming means and how AI can reduce energy consumption.
Falko Finzel uses practical examples in the interview to explain how AI can be used to control energy consumption more efficiently, e.g. by cleverly adapting the temperature or light in buildings to people's needs. He also gives Yuri and Sophia useful tips on how children themselves can do something to save energy in their everyday use of media.
Did you know?
Green IT means that computers and technology are used in such a way that they help the environment. This means that energy is saved and less waste is produced. For example, computers that consume less electricity help the environment.
A numerical example: a normal computer consumes around 200 watts per hour. A green computer can consume only 100 watts per hour. That saves 50% energy! If many people use green computers, a lot of electricity can be saved.
